Book Description
How much would you risk to change your life? Would you go where everyone else is trying to leave? Bestselling author Adam Fletcher did… In this unusual, hilarious travel memoir, he visits ten of the strangest places on earth. There's something he wants to know. Something no-one is telling him. To find the answer he’ll enter a blizzard in China armed with only a pack of biscuits; ponder the apocalypse in Chernobyl; be chased by the Croatian police on his way to Liberland (the world’s newest country); stalk the Sheriff of Transnistria (its most corrupt); and come face-to-face with two (dead) dictators in North Korea (its most dystopian), and much more.

Will anyone be waiting when he does? What do you give the dictator that has everything? Discover the answer in Don’t Go There… The books in this series can be read in any order.
