Next Chapter Travel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780645307061)

"Because life is short and we've still got places to see."

Four years after their last global journey - and with cancer, recovery, and lockdowns finally behind them - Emma and Darryl board a cruise ship bound for Europe.

The route? From Australia to Greece via South Africa, Mauritius, Morocco, and more.

From there, it's trains and buses across ancient Greek landscapes, through Bulgaria and Türkiye, and deep into the heart of India. But this is no packaged tour.

There are bucket list sights, yes - but also sleepless nights, questionable coach drivers, lost passengers at borders, and the humbling realisation that Indian hawkers can outsmart you with QR codes. There are rooftop breakfasts, muesli under the stars, and generous strangers who appear just when needed.

Told with honesty, humour, and adventure, Next Chapter Travel is a memoir of resilience, curiosity, and connection - a reminder that life is for living, and journeys are what shape us.
