Don’t Eat the Puffin

It’s the job of his dreams.
Get paid to travel and write about it.

A joyous book you will read in one sitting.

Never Pack an Ice-Axe

You’d think a long-time travel writer would have some great travel tips. You’d think.

I loved it, I’m hooked … can I carry your rucksack next time?

Watch Out for Pirates

“Left at 11am to go pirate-hunting.”

Wait, what?

Not Cool: Europe by Train in a Heatwave

A laugh-out-loud train journey across Europe with a travel writer who should know better.

Inspired by the budget InterRail trips of his youth, Jules thought he’d try and visit 9 cities in 9 countries in 9 days. Sadly, that wasn’t his only mistake.

It soon turned into a hot and steamy adventure (no, steady on, not that kind) by rail across Europe, taking in Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Bratislava, Ljubljana, Zagreb, Liechtenstein, Zürich and Milan.

Travel writing at its very best … I will be a fan from here on.

M.A. Blackburn, Amazon review

Chanced upon this … brilliant and wonderfully funny book.

The new travel guide to the beautiful Balkan country of Montenegro – the hot destination you didn’t know you wanted to go to. This great read by a trustworthy travel writer puts you in control of your adventures, with inspiring features backed up by personal one-to-one advice – it’s the travel friend you’ve been looking for.

Montenegro is an amazing place and Jules has really nailed it with this guide. You’d be mad to leave home without it!

Martin Dunford, author of the original Rough Guide to Yugoslavia

Your pocket friend to Montenegro. Jules only includes places he has visited and has no paid reviews. And you know what, I trust him.
