How does a lanky, arty, shy, middle class guy from leafy South West London end up doing drugs with waiters in New Orleans? Or acting in a film during revolution-torn Jakarta? Or getting lost in the Sahara Desert with only a cat to show him the way back? Or missing a massacre by a matter of minutes?
Mainly, by accident.
Staying as far away from the backpacker trail as is possible (whilst being on the backpacker trail) and with no Lonely Planet or Rough Guide in sight, our hero goes looking for love and drugs in all the wrong places... with hilarious results!
His travels take him through the mean streets of Europe, North Africa, The States, S E Asia and Australasia where he encounters hit-men, lady boys, millionaires, strippers, pirates, murderers, prostitutes... and the occasional Danish backpacker.
