Don`t Tell Mum: Hair-Raising Messages Home from Gap-Year Travellers
“The email home is an essential part of every gap-year backpackers journey. Where once the news of narrowly surviving a bus crash on the dirt-roads of India, waking up to gunfire in Honduras or fending off marriage proposals from complete strangers would have would have made it home only on the back of a slow-moving battered postcard, these days those tantalising details and terrible mistakes are now recorded immediately and distributed liberally for every friend and family member to wince at. In Don`t Tell Mum, Simon Hoggart and Emily Monk have collected together the funniest, most surreal, most alarming gap-year emails into a treasure-trove of correspondence. Accompanied by their wicked commentary, Don`t Tell Mum gives the aspiring traveller the low-down on what not to do when trotting the globe.”
