Travels with George

Location(s): Australia, Los Angeles, New Zealand (Aotearoa), The Cook Islands

Genre(s): Nonfiction, Travelogue

Era(s): 2010's

In 2000, after her children set off for new lives on the other side of the globe, Vivien Fallows embarked on a solo travel mission. At the request of her husband, Vivien shared the stories in a diary, which became the charming and chatty Travels with George. From visiting her backpacking son in Australia, spending 24 hours in Los Angeles and snorkelling in the Cook Islands, to adrenaline-pumping activities in New Zealand, Vivien pushed herself out of her comfort zone, describing the sights and sounds along the way. Fuelled by a diet of beer and muffins, funded by a piggy bank pension pot, completed with a trusty suitcase called George, Vivien hopes that her journey will inspire others to take the plunge and travel solo.
