Travel Mischief

True tales of wild places, strange encounters, and the soul of the road

This is not your average travel diary.

Travel Mischief drops you into real, raw, and often hilarious stories from the forgotten fringes of the map—where rules blur, wild characters thrive, and culture isn’t just observed, it’s lived. Whether dodging crocodiles in Sudan, navigating riots in Papua New Guinea, diving into ancient tribal lands, or getting into unexpected trouble on the Trans-Siberian Railway, these true tales are filled with heart, danger, and poetic insight.

From the deep jungle to high mountains, dusty outposts to sacred festivals, this book captures the spirit of adventure that comes only when you leave comfort behind and walk straight into the unknown.

If you crave authentic experiences, dream of connection beyond tourism, and don’t mind laughing at life’s chaos along the way—this book is your invitation.
