    About this ebook

    Every year, thousands of young people pack a rucksack and go off for a few months of backpacking through Europe, staying at youth hostels and trying to get in as much travel and experience as their meagre budgets allow.

    I never did.

    Now, twenty years later, I'd make that trip.

    The result is Running Late: A high-speed romp around Europe in which I set out in my 40s to do the backpacking trip I never quite managed in my 20s.

    It's a fast-paced, get-away-from-it-all tour through 30 destinations in 16 countries.
