About the book
Setting off with her friend in tow, she embarks on what should be the trip of a lifetime across the States—camping, hitchhiking, and embracing the great outdoors with boundless enthusiasm and absolutely no practical experience whatsoever. What follows is a gloriously chaotic tale of mishaps, misadventures, and the kind of catastrophes that only seem funny in retrospect. From disastrous camping expeditions to encounters with dubious strangers, Kennedy's journey is a masterclass in how not to travel. Her sharp wit and self-deprecating humour transform every disaster into comedy gold, making this essential reading for anyone who's ever had a holiday go spectacularly wrong—or who simply enjoys laughing at someone else's misfortune from the comfort of home.
