    Meet Liz. Mother of two teenage kids and wife of Brian. 
    Faced with midlife & realising that unless she gets her skates on, she'll never get to live out her fantasy of travelling the world with her family (and be like that woman from Eat, Pray Love), Liz plans a year-long globetrotting trip. 
    Annoyingly, things don't quite go as expected. 
    This is probably because Liz is slightly deluded & chooses to ignore the fact that her husband has acid reflux & can't eat anything foreign, & her teenage children would rather scroll funny Snapchat videos than look at old things in Europe. 
    From an ill-fated yoga class in India, ancient ruin humiliation in Italy, to getting sloshed at a charity festival in rural England, Liz’s endless mishaps and hysterical far-flung flops make for an unforgettable experience that no family could ever forget. 
    Even if they wanted to. 
    Armed with humour, optimism, this feel-good hilarious pee-your-pants, laugh-out-loud memoir will have you changing your life and racing to book your next adventure. 
    Prepare to laugh, cry & curl your toes. 
    Clench those buttocks, fellow traveller. We're off on a (real) family vacation...! 
    What readers are saying:  
    "…brilliantly entertaining writing…read it all in one sitting..." 
    "... Bridget Jones crossed with Eat, Pray, Love...a wickedly funny delight!..." 
    “…I snorted with laughter, Liz is genuinely hilarious…” 
    “…everything you could want in a travel memoir & more…” 
    “…inspiring, funny, cringe-worthy & heartwarming, often all at the same time. Fabulous…” 
    “…I laughed out loud throughout…British humour at it's best!'” 
    "...Relatable, hilarious, funny stories: everything from being a wife, mother to family travel...LOVED IT!"
