Can we do a deal? If you buy this book, to help raise money for meningitis and septicaemia research, you will be taken around the world. What do you think?
I’ll take that as a maybe. For this world trip, you just need a comfortable seat and a glass of something good. We are aiming to reach every continent, but your guide is Jeff so don’t blame me if he doesn’t get you past Calais. Although he does promise you a disappearing hostel, wrong trains, flashing Danes, vulture assassins, lost cities, a thoroughly wrong but delightfully British sweepstake, murder on the Inca Trail, a death-defying comeback and so much more.
These are the seven travel diaries of Jeff Brown sewn into one book. He takes you on a journey of novice interrailing in Europe, surviving the beautiful culture shock of India, simple backpacking in Australia, exploring Peru in a group trip, seeing the wildlife of Namibia and finally on to an almost competent solo traveller in Mexico and Guatemala. Then, just when you are most comfortable, the last diary will catapult you into the land of PICU.
At the very least, read the last diary, as your life, or something even more important, may depend on it.

Circa l’autore
Jeff Brown is ordinary. I wish I could tell you about his rugged good looks, humongous intellect and bulging biceps, but that would be a big fat lie. He was born in Melton Mowbray, is a 9 to 5 worker and grows potatoes in his back garden. He hasn’t even managed to write a nice novel for you, instead he has simply recalled actual events.
To tell you the truth, Jeff Brown’s main motivation for releasing his ‘Ordinary Man’ book is because he is raising money for charity. What sort of reason is that? Whatever happened to good old-fashioned greed and vanity?
