  • You'll go road trippin’ through the Canadian winter. Bivvy out on a mountaintop in Wales. Explore pockets of wilderness around the city of London and take a journey by bike across Europe.

It’ll have you drifting off into the land of nod, dreaming up journeys of your very own – and it’s proof that the only thing standing between you and the next wild adventure is a willingness to step beyond your front door.

Fun book!

Anna's writing style is conversational and easy to read. Her adventures are interesting, and although I confess, I have no interest in running through the desert at night, I did look up Salton by the Sea, and added it to my bucket list. I love her spirit of adventure!

Fun read!

This is the first book I have read of Annas'. I am 63 years young and enjoyed going on adventures through her words. This is a great read and got back on Amazon to order more of her books and take adventures with her doing things that I am unable to do.
Have fun reading her books. I am!

LOVE THIS

I cannot gush about how much I LOVE Anna McNuff's writing. I feel like I am on every adventure with her. This book is nice because there are some adventures of hers I had not heard about (or only heard about but never knew the actual story). She does add a few stories in there from her past (book) adventures such as New Zealand.

One to give you the best bedtime dreams!

Absolutely fun and adventurous read!

My sister gave this book to me as a Christmas gift this past year as my husband and I are small time adventurers as well. I just have to say, I LOVE Anna’s story telling. Her writing style is so genuine and down to earth as if you and she are close friends sitting in your living room with a glass of wine or a beer as she reenacts each story with expressive animation.
I enjoyed ever page and every story! I highly recommend this one to anyone with an adventurous soul (vicarious or otherwise). It will most definitely not disappoint. Enjoy! ❤️

Such a fun read!

This book was so much fun to read and listen to as well. The stories were exciting and often left me in stitches imagining the author's adventures and mishaps! I also purchased the audio book and loved the author's voice. I've bought copies for my family, I enjoyed it so much!
