Mario Garrido Espinosa, Lucy Robinson (TRN) Travels at the turn of the century

Annotation

Five travel stories told with a whole lot of ironic humour. Five tales of a time when travellers didn't carry a digital camera with space for thousands of photos; or a mobile phone infinitely capable of solving any unforeseen problems. The reader will be immersed in an eye-opening journey, through passages of pure adventure and will remember an unprecedented historical event that happened during one of these trips. All of these chapters took place as we left the 20th century behind and began to see a radical shift towards technology usage that was so extreme it changed the way we travel. Up to that point, we still checked a map, we didn't use GPS and we had to hunt down a payphone to call home. Reminisce on all of these sensations with these short stories; after all, "travelling is the best money ever spent", right?
