Many of us watch in envy as school or university-leavers jet off to far away places to relax, explore or fulfil a long-held ambition. Now, many adults are taking the bull by the horns and going on their own gap year adventure. The author of this book did just that. The Grown Up Gap Year Diaries recounts the highlights of a mid-life female traveller, including unexpected experiences and tips on how to be a responsible traveller wherever you go. Laura Bloom, author of three successful novels, has backpacked around Australia, survived an Oz Experience 'party on wheels' bus and lived off GBP5 a day after losing her bank card in Asia. This book warm-heartedly details her highs and lows of her time travelling, providing a rare insight into the day-to-day life as an adult traveller. It advises adults on the practicalities of travelling, offering money-saving tips and advice on where to go. Once you have read about one person's intrepid adventure, be sure to use its sister book, Gap Years for Grown Ups, to find ideas for your own gap year journey.
