planes, trains & amphetamines: Clubbing Holiday Confessions

Rave may be the middle word in travel, but when raving reporter Kirk Field created the rave new world’s first holiday company catering exclusively for clubbers, the rave new world threw everything it could at him: 9/11, volcanic ash clouds, suspicious customs officers, avalanche’s, North Sea storms, pandemics, fraudulent accountants and even Derek Acorah.

From high jinks on the high seas and insanity in Ibiza, to playing in the powder in the Austrian alps and psychic silliness on the Costa Del Sol: this is the story of a new kind of tourism for guests who weren’t interested in spending the night in a 5-star luxury bed (or any bed for that matter!), when a glowing tan raised suspicion rather than envy, suggesting the owner had spent more time on the lounger than the lash. This is a story of survival in a turbulent world; strap in tight for an uncensored white-knuckle ride through the side of holidays the brochures don’t show you.
