Publishing to coincide with Bradt's 40th anniversary, The Irresponsible Travelle
r is a light but edgy collection of travellers' tales. Travel writers and celebr
ities alike recount their exciting, and often dangerous, adventures which includ
e being chased by a sea lion, accosted by Brazilian kidnappers and a midnight ra
id to free turtles on the Amazon. Over 40 years Bradt has built a reputation for
publishing books covering the road less travelled, and this collection celebrat
es exactly the sort of writing and storytelling about 'unusual' travel experienc
es that has helped to establish the company as a firm favourite amongst adventur
ous travellers.
