Who is Mr Snack and why is he sharing my room? How do you avoid the attentions of a horny Norwegian Fisherman? Where are Cabbage Patch Kids born? All these questions are answered in this compilation of travel tales by Brendan Shanahan. Other stories include his drunken online purchase of a home in Las Vegas, his brief career in Bollywood and a mediation on white guilt in post-apartheid South Africa.
