True Stories and Other Rarities: Backpacking in Asia

When the lamp hit the wall we knew we needed a change. And change things we did. Very shortly afterwards we sold almost everything we owned, bought backpacks and boots and two one-way tickets to Bangkok Thailand. We didn't know when we were coming back or even where we would go but Bangkok was a start and we needed a new start. Living a quiet life in Denmark, we did what many people talked about doing. Our adventure was exciting and taught us that in order to know what you've got you sometimes have to give it up. One thing we were not willing to give up was our marriage and so off we went.

Written during the trip True Stories and Other Rarities: Backpacking Through Asia takes the reader on our adventure like it really was, which was not always beautiful, not always fun, but always surprising and full characters. Traversing the streets of Bangkok on foot, meeting new friends in Vietnam, hiking Nepal, sleeping in caves, and trying to survive the streets of India. This is not your average adventure book, but our trip was not the average trip. We set off on one of our adventures with pie-in-sky ideas of how it was going to be. We were wrong.
