Ben West

Ben West is from my home State of Tasmania, and very nearly from my home town, so I just had to read his book. What an adventure! He writes extremely well and it makes reading the exciting story of his 12 months of travelling very easy, as if he was sitting beside you on the couch, telling it as it was…… a friendly guy with a quick sense of humour, a good turn of phrase, a big black beard and a rucksack full of dirty washing. Great travel reading!
