  Things happen when you travel...Twenty six-year-old Gareth is working as a recruitment consultant and feels trapped by the routine of work. His only escape seems to be the bars and nightclubs on the weekend. After splitting up with his long term girlfriend he feels lost and worries life is passing him by. He is not sure what to do or where his life is going but knows that something needs to change. Out of the blue his Grandmother gives him 3,000 pounds. The next week he quits his job, moves out of his flat and decides to go on an adventure. This diary relives his personal accounts across six countries: Canada, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil. The trip descends into a whirlwind of alcohol, drugs and several near death experiences as he begins to realise that perhaps running from home doesn't solve a thing...
