Review:

“Entertaining, informative and essential. A must-read for any traveller.” —Sir Ranulph Fiennes

"Figgins packs into 188 pages the low-down on how to get the most out of travel by avoiding mobs, microbes, malaria, and other miscellaneous mishaps. He weaves practical advice in with fascinating personal experiences, making this book very useful while at the same time very entertaining.” —Ben Wedeman, CNN War Correspondent

“If you ever found yourself in a sticky situation whilst travelling overseas, Lloyd Figgins is the person you would want with you. The next best thing would be to have a copy of The Travel Survival Guide in your pack. As humorous as it is useful." —Kat Orman, BBC journalist
