It's priceless information, delivered with wit and insight, providing the down-to-earth, honest read that is the hallmark of Rough Guides.

Gavin Thomas has spent much of his life trying to be somewhere else and has now visited over sixty countries around the world, from Argentina to New Zealand, his enthusiasm for abroad undimmed despite various life-threatening on-the-road encounters including being chased by wild elephants in Kerala, being shot by bandits in Mexico, and being forced to eat dangerously large quantities of airline catering.
