“When I wake up, I find myself in prison. Not your ordinary prison, but the sort that nightmares are made of………I’m beginning to wish that I’d gone to Benidorm. ”
In the days before Lonely Planet made the planet a lot less lonely Jonathan worked the bars of Southern Europe before travelling overland across Asia and Australia.
Jonathan Evans takes us back to the halcyon days of the hippy trail – when many travelled the world by thumb with seemingly little fear – and right up to the present day.
There’s crocodiles and con men, cyclones and shoot-outs; drug runners, exploding hippies and the mad strangler of Maungaturoto.
Evoking Hunter S Thompson, there’s even a chance encounter with the notorious writer’s screen double.
“Captivating, wonderful and enthralling. You’ll never be able to predict what’s coming next”- Adam Crowther BBC Radio Bristol
“…Absolutely hilarious. (Jonathan Evans) seems to have been a magnet for every weirdo and shyster you could wish, or not, to meet.” Mike Manson, author of Where’s My Money?
“Wild and witty, a blast of Gonzo on the overland trail. Get on board, It’s a wild ride!” – Word of Mouth
