In this episode I talk to Sue Bedford who is the author of  Its Only the Himalayas: And Other Tales of Miscalculation from an Overconfident Backpacker. This is the book that I should have written or, more correctly, that I no longer have to write since this exists! In this interview, we talk about Sue's year-long adventure around the world. She talks about the less glamorous side of backpacking that all those Instagram photos don't show! She also mentioned a few other stories that have happened since she wrote the book, obviously the travel hasn't ended! Filled with personal stories of triumph, sickness, sex and disappointment, this is the travel book which I think best represents the reality of long-term travel (granted, I don't read many travel books). Presented in a hilarious way that actually makes you laugh out loud, this is the book I will recommend to anyone thinking about making that first trips around the world.

Sue Bedford on her spot-on travel writing in "Its Only the Himalayas"

Today's episode is with Sue Bedford. Sue has backpacked over 50 countries in the last decade. Her travel memoir It’s Only the Himalayas and Other Tales of Miscalculation from an Overconfident Backpacker (https://www.amazon.com/Its-Only-Himalayas-Miscalculation-Overconfident-ebook/dp/B019O1BNHO) was recently released by publisher Brindle &amp; Glass, and has garnered the attention of media outlets such as The New York Times, Publisher’s Weekly, and The Huffington Post. It was her life goal to be an author by her thirtieth birthday and she made it by two weeks!  Sue is a disenchanted waitress when she embarks upon a year-long quest around the world with her exasperatingly perfect friend, Sara. Expecting a whimsical jaunt of self-discovery, Sue instead encounters an absurd series of misadventures that render her embarrassed, terrified, and queasy (and in a lot of trouble with Philippine Airline).  Whether she’s fleeing from ravenous lions, dancing amid smoking skulls, navigating the torturous Annapurnas, or...   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
