Summary
In this collection of 40 true stories, leading figures from the world of travel writing and broadcasting lay bare the less glamorous side of their jobs, sharing their more hair-raising or comical experiences on the road. These are the moments when things went wrong - the moments that don't tend to make it into the magazine articles or TV tie-ins. They describe facing bloodthirsty bandits in Brazil, smuggling currency out of Zimbabwe in a train toilet, freeing turtles during a midnight raid on the Amazon, and fleeing a love-sick sea lion in Antarctica. Often hilarious - and sometimes downright terrifying - these are the scrapes our contributors will never forget
