An adventure travel memoir.
“Misadventures, rather than actual disasters are usually more interesting than successes. I love introducing people to places and experiences they would not have come across on their own”
Entertaining account of exploring remote places.
It’s a series of adventures, with each chapter a story of a different country, finding unknown and unvisited places.
A honest and fun travel memoir.
Thanks @ameliadalton, @sandstonepress & @netgalley for the eARC.

Really fun book and a line of work I had not really considered, it gave a great feel for the places they were visiting with some nice side stories to go with it!

My reasons for DNFing:

Quote 1:
‘'It seems opening Tower Bridge is free, and I love the idea of stopping all the rush hour city traffic. Watching the bridge open from the water will be fun. I was smiling at the thought.
'Och, have you no sense of economy, girl? The bridge may be free, but what about all the charges once you're through? Lightermen and all. It'll be a closed shop, everything tightly controlled.'

HOW DID YOU PLAN A CRUISE WITHOUT CHECKING THINGS LIKE THIS! IN LONDON!! HOW THE HELL NO ONE TOLD YOU ABOUT IT BEFORE THIS WAS EVEN PLANNED!

Quote 2:

'Good morning, this is Gladstone & Sussex.' One of Rosemary's contacts wanted to meet me.
They had a group of twenty-five Americans booked for a tour entitled 'Castles and Gardens of Bohemia'.
It was a chance to become a tour leader in the Czech Republic.

SHE GOT THE JOB, CONGRATS! HOWEVER…

‘That's Ok, but I think it would be sensible for me to have a look round Prague at least before your clients arrive. I have been there but in the depths of a snowy winter.’

SO YOU SAID YES TO BECOMING A TOUR GUIDE IN A PLACE WHERE YOU’VE BEEN ONCE BEFORE AND ABOUT WHICH YOU KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

‘Time for a new start for me too, even if it felt like climbing a mountain. So where exactly in
Europe was the Czech Republic?’

YOU SAID YOU HAD BEEN TO PRAGUE
WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHERE IN EUROPE IS CZECH REPUBLIC?!!!!!

"Amelia, Dick murmured, 'Deborah needs a restroom.'
'Right, yes of course.' For a moment I considered an empty bottle.
Ladies, if we get Deborah down, do you think we can make a screen? We can stand close together.
Squeezing up tightly, they linked arms, closed up and corralled the wheelchair.’

I GET IT, YOU DIDN’T KNOW ONE OF YOUR GUESTS IS GONNA BE A WHEELCHAIR USER BUT THE FACT THAT THIS THOUGHT EVEN CROSSED YOUR MIND IS ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS

A BOTTLE?! AN EMPTY BOTTLE?!

I really enjoyed the writing style of Amelia Dalton but some of her thoughts on the ‘Pages from my passport’ made me want to put my head through the wall. I understand trying new things in life but for god’s sake why would you go into things you know absolutely f**k all about?

For the record, I’m not trying to be a hater and I’m only reviewing this book with what I knew about Amelia from the book description, author description and what she says in her book.

Thank you to Sandstone Press and NetGalley for the arc of this book!

Really enjoyed this one! I am a sucker for a memoir and this one was like going on an adventure without leaving the sofa

These adventures are a great mix of being professional and muddling through. Amelia's experiences are well described, funny, and informative. I enjoyed her voyages at sea and journeys on land very much.

I love the idea of traveling through books especially for those that can’t and Pages From My Passport does just that. Amelia Dalton takes us on many different adventures from all over the globe and I and our readers are so here for that’

A memoir full of adventures, this is one of those that you can finish in one sitting as it is not very long. Casual language made it very personal. Having maps added tothe book was helpful to picture some of the places!

This is the type of book that you finish in one sitting. Full of adventures, beautiful places, interesting characters and a few disasters along the way.
I loved the addition of maps and photos, it made me feel like I was there.
A rollercoaster of a memoir.
