Up Sticks Vol one: Hilarious tales of a young couple who sell up and embark on an epic eight year road trip

A real-life account chronicling the exploits of an intrepid and incident prone young couple who travel abroad together for the very first time. After selling their house on a whim along with everything they owned this happy go lucky pair embarked on the road trip of a lifetime around Western Europe. Living on a shoestring budget in a tiny camper called Billy with their two lovely dogs, Nelson and Caine we follow them for the first twelve months on their epic journey of discovery.Their quest was a simple one – they just wanted some warm Mediterranean sunshine and then somewhere nice and warm to spend the winter months.Simply written, this is a light hearted and easy to read account of their often outrageous and hair-raising adventures. ‘Brilliant!! a laugh a minute. Descriptive, comical and well written. The writer makes you feel as if you are travelling right along side them. Read a few pages out to my husband and he spent the whole time laughing and smiling.Well worth reading if you have not smiled for a while as this book will be sure to cause your facial muscles to react.’ by Squidly.‘A great book for the would be traveller on a shoestring. Some hilarious moments are captured leaving you wanting more. I want MORE.’ by Claire Danton.‘One of the best travel books I've read, and I have read a few. You will not be bored. Only a pair of carefree happy go lucky souls could have sold EVERYTHING and driven off in generally southerly direction with no idea of where they were actually going! An interesting contrast to the rigidly planned existence many people lead, even when on holiday. Unlike many travel stories where you can tell the author has got a bit carried away with their own imagination (and made half of it up as they went along), you can tell from the detail this is all real life experience. There are some hilarious situations, which again, no one could make up if they tried.’ by Zadok of Tunbridge Wells.
