It may be seen as perverse that someone who believes himself to be one of the world's worse travellers should feel compelled to write a book on travel. The task has been undertaken in the knowledge that there are likely to be countless others who share my reluctance to see "The Lonely Planet."

This amusing tale follows this "Reluctant Traveller" on a recent West Coast, Canadian and U.S. road trip.
