Synopsis

"Its journey through alcohol, angst, love, and learning carries readers, via a streetwise voice and experiences, far from the beaten path of tired travelogues." -D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

Stef and James couldn’t get it all together—aside from clothes and toiletries to stuff in a backpack. Carrying their lives in a bag made it easier to run from jobs, anxieties, relationships, and miscellaneous other mistakes. At 21 years old, James left England and Stef ditched the USA, setting in motion a worldwide journey of questionable choices spanning six years and thirteen countries.

At an Irish pub in Sydney, they found something they’d stay put for. Options for immigration fell through until one solution remained—get married so they could keep dating. What was supposed to be the end of their problems was just the beginning, and the time had come to decide whether to keep trying or pack up.

The Backpack Years is more than a dual-narrative travelogue. Stef and James recount experiences that led them to the pub and beyond, through the highs and lows of wandering and the attempts at stability in-between. It's a funny, candid memoir about the doubts of new adulthood and discovering who, where, and with whom you're meant to be.
