Don’t Go There

Weird Travel Series, Book 1: From Chernobyl to North Korea - One Man’s Quest to Lose Himself and Find Everyone Else in the World’s Strangest Places

De: Adam Fletcher

Narrado por: Liam Gerrard

It was supposed to be a normal city break...

...it ended in the strangest places in the world.

They shouldn't have tear gassed best-selling (bald) author Adam Fletcher. It ruined his supposedly normal holiday in Istanbul, made him curious, and began a quest to visit places everyone else is trying to escape from, and tourists don't normally go to.

In this hilarious travel memoir, he'll enter a blizzard in China armed with only biscuits; pose as a scientist to sneak into Chernobyl; be chased by Croatian police boats en route to Liberland (the world's newest country); stalk the Sheriff of Transnistria (its most corrupt); become a reluctant diving board star in a North Korean water park, and much more.

Accompanied by his eccentric German girlfriend, Annett, this adventure to 10 unusual destinations will also put their sanity, safety, and relationship in jeopardy.

Packed full of interesting people (including the Devil incarnate and someone having their mind remotely controlled), weird locations, and British humor, Don't Go There takes you on an unforgettable journey with an award-winning travel writer.

Feels like I travelled the globe

So many great Destinations, revelations, and feel good moments. Glad the author took me along for the ride. Definitely recommend

a bit of history

Another great audiobook. As a kid from the USSR, I appreciated a bit of history about Chernobyl that was told in an uncensored way by an independent witness of the consequences. A lot of other adventures there too!

Adam Fletcher knows how to captivate his audience.

If you enjoy laughing as much as I do, and who doesn’t need more laughter, you’ll relish this hilarious travel audiobook. Adam Fletcher had me laughing so hard that I nearly tumbled off my bike as he described his adventures trying to escape his boring life. Well done. It was just what I needed.

Take the title's advice!

A vapid take on exotic travel locales which is 99.9 percent missable. Mostly just a lot of inane chatter about nothing. None of the stories ever get any more exciting than the preview. One thing I learned: don't bother visiting North Korea.
