How to React When Woken at 3am by Drunk Argentinian Backpackers While Staying in a Youth Hostel and Other Lesser Known Travel Tips
Simon Yeats

GENRE:
Non-Fiction
Humorous Memoir
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Book 4 of the hilarious book series that those in the know will
want to read when arriving at Paris airport so they laugh so freaking hard that
it will intimidate any suspicious characters looking to abduct them and sell
them into the human trafficking game.
Life
was not meant to be easy, Simon Yeats’ father used to tell him. Well, it sure
as hell was not meant to be this bizarre and witty. Australian ex-pat Simon
Yeats shares his stories of travel misadventures and dubious personal
introspection with comedic insights into the unusual and uproarious elements of
living his life abroad. All while having a sense of Wanderlust as pervasive as
Mongol hordes in the 12th century.
From
how to negotiate getting abused in Los Angeles when you will only drive at 5
miles/hr., to what to do when locked out of your hotel room in your underwear,
to the emotions of attempting the world’s second highest bungee when you have a
pathological fear of heights, to how to deal with the trials and tribulations
of staying in a youth hostel with travelers who have no respect for the other
guests.
Simon
Yeats has gone into the world and experienced all the out of the ordinary
moments for you to sit back and enjoy the experience without the need to empty
your bank account, get squeezed sitting in a middle airline seat, or deal with
border security at the Ukraine/Russia boundary.

EXCERPT
That was not one of my three options.
Although, if this is Jack the Ripper, he seems to have
gotten well ahead of himself with his raping technique.
It is Con’s work mate.
“What the hell happened?” I stammer.
The guy is barely holding himself upright as he sways in
front of me. “I am locked out of my room.”
Well, that would only be a minor inconvenience to anyone if
they then hadn’t gone to the trouble of disrobing themselves. But there are no
clothes in the hallway. It seems Con’s mate had just walked out of his room
naked.
“Where are your clothes?” I ask.
“I had a shower, and I opened the door to get out of the
bathroom and it led me to the hallway.”
“You didn’t wrap yourself in a towel?”
“I was looking for the towel,” he indignantly responds. “Let
me show you,” and he forcefully grabs my arm and pulls me down the hallway to
his locked hotel room door. “See, I am locked out. I can’t get in.”
With all the not quite fully awake/not really too drunk
excitement of thinking that there had to be a more radical explanation as to
why Con’s highly inebriated mate could be so careless as to walk out of his
front door thinking he was opening the bathroom door, I did not think to grab
my room key.
Now there are two of us standing in the hallway, locked out
of our rooms.
One of us in his undies. The other one in his birthday suit.
Both of us are now frantic.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Simon Yeats has lived nine lives, and by all estimations, is fast
running out of the number he has left. His life of globetrotting the globe was
not the one he expected to lead. He grew up a quiet, shy boy teased by other
kids on the playgrounds for his red hair. But he developed a keen wit and sense
of humor to always see the funnier side of life.
With an overwhelming love of travel, a propensity to find trouble
where there was none, and being a passionate advocate of mental health, Simon’s
stories will leave a reader either rolling on the floor in tears of laughter,
or breathing deeply that the adventures he has led were survived.
No author has laughed longer or cried with less restraint at the
travails of life.
