Winner of the Writer's Digest 2019 Memoir of the Year Award

Adam Fletcher's life hates him...

That's how it feels since he lost his girlfriend of nine years, his confidence, hair, and home.

But then he receives an email from a mysterious stranger offering him a free holiday of a lifetime. It's too good to be true. But then what does he have to lose?

So he says yes. And then things gets strange...

Catapulted through the wilds of South Africa, Cuba and Indonesia, he must fight an angry baboon armed with just a sock; hike into an active volcano to meet people with the worst job in the world; have coffee and biscuits with a stranger's dead grandma; go on a double-date with a very flirtatious princess; stare down hungry Komodo dragons; be rushed to hospital by emergency speedboat; and discover why it's a really bad idea to become a gold digger in Papua New Guinea.

A lot of strange things are about to happen to him. He's not ready for any of them...
