If you’ve ever found yourself stranded, scammed, or sunburnt with nothing but a laugh to get you through it, you’re my kind of reader. These aren’t polished, perfectly planned trips, they’re real adventures, full of “what now?” moments and unexpected hilarity. So pack a bag, embrace the madness, and get ready to laugh at every disaster along the way”

Hilarious but surprisingly heartfelt
I came for the funny travel mishaps, but I stayed for the heart. Scotty has this way of making you feel like you’re right there with him, whether he’s being judged by a kangaroo or stranded in the rain after a taxi standoff in Thailand. The humour is spot on, but what I didn’t expect were the quieter moments of reflection about life on the road. Loved it!

A reminder to enjoy the ride.
I wasn’t expecting the book to be so reflective, but Scotty sneaks in moments of wisdom between the laughs. It makes you want to plan less and enjoy more. Fantastic read!
– Tom G.
A laugh-out-loud must-read for every wannabe adventurer
If you’ve ever thought about packing a bag, hitting the road, and figuring it out as you go, you NEED this book. Scotty’s storytelling is sharp, sarcastic, and painfully relatable. I lost count of how many times I laughed out loud, especially during the Thailand section. Between tuk-tuk rides gone wrong and karaoke nights he’ll never forget (but probably wishes he could), every page is packed with chaos in the best way even when things go wrong, the best stories are born from bad decisions.
– Jess W.
Perfect for people who love adventure but hate overthinking it
This isn’t your typical polished travel memoir. It’s raw, chaotic, and real, just like travel itself. I could totally relate to the parts where he packs way too much and still forgets the important stuff. The writing is witty, and the short chapters make it easy to read in one sitting or over time. My only critique? Too many hangover stories, but hey, that’s part of the adventure, right? If you love laughing at travel fails (or your own), you’ll enjoy this ride.
– Sarah K.
The perfect mix of humor and chaos.
Scotty does an incredible job turning his misadventures into comedy gold. The balance between hilarity and those ‘oh no’ moments is perfect. You won’t just read it you’ll live every wild moment with him.
– Alex M.
Feels like swapping stories with a mate over beers
Reading this book felt like sitting down with a mate after a wild trip and hearing all the hilarious, messy details. Scotty’s style is super laid-back and easy to follow, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. The kangaroo story in Australia had me in stitches, and the tuk-tuk karaoke night was pure gold. If you want a travel book that’s light on clichés and heavy on laughs, grab this one. Just don’t read it in public unless you’re okay with snorting out loud.
– Dave R.
Short, punchy, and seriously addictive.
I loved how easy it was to pick up and read a story or two whenever I had a break. Each chapter is a standalone adventure, making it perfect for anyone who doesn’t have hours to commit to reading.
– Rachel P.
Not for everyone, but some will love it
If you’re expecting a traditional travel memoir filled with poetic descriptions, deep cultural insights, or profound life-changing moments, this might not be your vibe. Scotty’s book is more about wild stories, sarcastic humour, and chaotic misadventures than serious travel reflections. It’s very heavy on the hilarious mishaps, so if you’re looking for something deeper or more polished, you may find it a bit of a shock. That said, if you enjoy a laid-back, laugh-out-loud read with lots of personality, it’s perfect. Just know it’s more about the laughs than the landmarks.
– Karen L.
Relatable chaos at its best.
Anyone who’s ever traveled and faced unexpected hiccups will find something to relate to here. Scotty’s humor is the perfect antidote to those ‘travel fail’ moments we’ve all had.”
– Brooke J.
A wild ride from start to finish.
The energy in this book is unmatched. It’s fast-paced, fun, and full of moments that will have you laughing, cringing, and wanting more. Highly recommended!
