REVIEWS....
Review by Hazel Butterfield. TV & Radio Presenter.
You know what, this book came at just the right time for me. Tales of adventure, positivity, calm and lessons learnt.
Short stories, inspiring and awesome for the travel lovers or those that used to be when time was more permitting! Sweet and succinct points at the end that just leave that warm and contented feeling.
We are also not set in stone, we can change our path and make mistakes, experience fear and come across the unknown. Everything we live through is a chance to learn and develop. However...
“Sometimes there is no lesson, just enjoyment.” - Lindsey Porter

I loved reading about Lindsey's travel exploits and her journey through life. It was as though I was there at every stage of her amazing adventures. She is an example and inspiration of how to live life fully and fearlessly. There were so many life lessons learnt and loved the way each take away ended the chapter. Lindsey's writing skills are to be applauded I did not want to put the book down. I am so proud of her first book a great legacy for her children. Was so surprised and honoured to see that I got a wee mention in the acknowledgement. Keeping doing you Lindsey and being an inspiration for me and others’. Love Donna x |

"Well Lindsey, I can see why you were in the top set for English. Your book is absolutely fantastically written and I enjoyed it so much!!!!"
"....just loving your book, Lindsey. I knew you'd travelled a lot, but hadn't realised how adventurous they were. Only at Part 4 South America but had to drop you this to acknowledge your great work..."
"Your book is amazing, I'm reading now...Louie is totally inspired by the fact you have written a book, he is sitting by me and has started his first book!! xx"
"Chapter One read last night, it made me smile thinking back to my 20’s.....I’m just one year older than you, so I can resonate with that era. I love the idea that you have written all this down and your boys will be able to read this when they are older. It also makes me want to ask my mum a bit more about her early years, she mentions bits and pieces now and again and I think she could well have some stories to tell!! Looking forward to reading chapter 2!"
"Made me laugh recalling some of my own travels I had forgotten about and the complete lack of planning! Now I don't go to Edinburgh without a timetable!! Thanks for making me reflect a little already .... perhaps I'll wander without a plan these hols .."
"I am almost half way through your book already. It has been a fascinating read and I found it hard to put down yesterday. To me that’s what the best books do, make you not want to stop x"

Sucked into a whirlpool…
Discovering pre-Inca tribal remains…
Breaking an ankle 5000 metres up the side of a volcano…
These are just a few of the unexpected circumstances Lindsey Porter found herself in as she travelled to some of the world’s most incredible locations.
For the first time these tales have been brought together in a collection that shares the unforeseen and often humorous outcomes, whilst revealing an insight into places that are a little off the tourist trail.
They also track her amazing life-journey from being a Senior Project Manager working in Financial Servicesto travelling to India to train as a Yoga Teacher. Now a tutor for Yoga Scotland, she has written for the Huffington Post, YOGA, OM Yoga magazines and co-founded voicesofyoga.com – yoga podcasts listened to in over 70 countries. She is also a signatory of the Mental Health Charter for Physical Activity and Sport championing her yoga teacher community to help break down the barriers for people with mental health challenges to participate in activities such as yoga.
Come and join Lindsey on her journeys and find out why the best travel tales are often unexpected.
