Author David Fletcher is addicted to visiting the world\u2019s greatest locations including Africa, India, the Middle East – all places of astonishing natural beauty and remarkable culture. So what is the biggest cause of environmental and cultural problems that he sees when travelling to these places? David says it’s the people who travel. People just like him. In their thousands. All \u201coff the beaten track\u201d.
\nThe\u00a0Brian\u2019s World series of books (the fifth book on Namibia and Botswana, published on 27th January) takes a sidelong glance at sightseers and their attitudes. Part travel journal, full of amazing locations and information, and part humorous fictional narrative of a grumpy, misanthropic Brit, the popular Brian\u2019s World books are both a celebration of the wonderful world that we live in and a challenge to us, the people who are slowly destroying it.<\/p>\n

Strip Pan Wrinkle is the latest hilarious adventure of Brian, the sightseer who hates sightseers. Available from amazon for around \u00a38:\u00a0http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Strip-Pan-Wrinkle-Namibia-Botswana\/dp\/1783060379<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
