A Citizen Of Wanderlust: Stories From Backpacking Australasia

An honest, open and witty account of a Working Holiday "Down Under". David Hutchison spent two years travelling around Australia and in that time the online blog that he wrote to prove to his mother that he was still alive slowly turned into this book.

Whilst there, and accompanied by the many interesting characters he meets along the way, he manages to get into some outrageous, hilarious and sometimes dangerous situations. Throughout his travels, he spent his evenings dodging snakes and crocodiles while hunting his own dinner in the Australian outback. Accidentally took up residence in a drug den in Darwin, and even tried his hand at freediving with sharks in Fiji. This book is an enjoyable insight into how leaving home with absolutely no idea what you are doing can become a remarkable adventure.

'A Citizen of Wanderlust' will take you on a trip through Australia, New Zealand and Fiji through the eyes of a first time backpacker. From the grubby hostel parties, to the expensive hotel suites (thanks to Miley Cyrus). This book is guaranteed to have you laughing as you discover the unexpected, yet absolutely magical world of backpacking Australasia.
