Today I can finally say these beautiful words: I am a published author.
My new book “Out the Door – 10 Tales of Adventure” is finally available to purchase from Amazon.
Out the Door – 10 Tales of Adventure
One day, Matt shouldered a backpack and stepped out the door, to a world of travel writing and adventures. Over the five years that followed, he ventured through ten countries and three continents, from the lofty peaks of the Himalayas to the arid wastes of the Gobi desert. On rickety Soviet-era sleeper carriages and futuristic Japanese bullet trains he began to discover that travel was not always glamorous and that the rough tales could inform him just as much as the smooth. Follow along in ten stories, as Matt travels by train, boat, bus, rickshaw, camel, flippers, and his own two feet to explore the world and slake his thirst for adventure.
This book has been many years in the making as it is a project I first began during the COVID lockdowns. Since then, I’ve edited it then put it away again numerous times until I eventually sculpted out a manuscript I was happy with.
In this book, I have chosen 10 adventure stories that best characterise the first five years of my backpacking life. The stories are meant to be entertaining and informative, as each moment struck me with a lesson, for good or ill.
The book is available to purchase on Amazon as an e-book. It can be read on an e-reader, or if you don’t have one of those, you can still buy the book through the Kindle store and read it on your laptop, tablet, or phone.
Please buy the book, review it, and hopefully, get lost amongst its pages.
