About the Book

Once you've met Ivan, travelogues will never be the same again

Campervans Gone Wild highlights the things that travellers often see, but don't often write about. If you're travelling alone, your diary is often your best friend - you choose where to go and who to spend time with, and at the end of the day, you write it all down to share with your faithful friend.

Some of the novel is based on an earlier version of my book "Going Bush in the Long White Cloud", which has now been withdrawn. The current edition is sufficiently different and extended, that it has required a new name and an additional spot on the library shelf.

“Only those who decline to scramble up the career ladder are interesting as human beings. Nothing is more boring than a man with a career.”

About the Author

The seeds of inspiration

“You’ll need to get a proper job,” my parents told me as I neared the end of my education. But within a year of securing this “proper” job, I’d quit and was travelling the world. What I learnt quickly was that a career needs passion, and mine lay in seeing wild, unspoilt places, and in meeting people of every race.

My journey as a multilinguist has taken me from the UK and the mountains of Norway to the deserts of Morocco, and from the jungles of Thailand to the forests of Canada and Brazil. But it was the antipodes that won my heart: first New Zealand, and now Australia.

This passion for travel is a passion for knowledge. It feeds my desire to write and provides a bottomless well of experiences to share with you, the reader. I hope my novel brings a smile to your face in these difficult times.
