Travel writing

A compelling travelogue by a San Francisco Yellow Taxi driver who invites a stranger to America for an all-expenses-paid adventure

'Someday, when I am rich, I am going to invite someone from my travels to visit me in America.'

Brad Newsham was a twenty-two-year-old travelling through Afghanistan when he wrote this in his journal. Fourteen years later, he's a Yellow Taxi driver working in San Francisco. He's not rich, but he has never forgotten his vow.

Take Me With You is the compelling account of his journey through the Philippines, India, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and South Africa as he searches for the right person - someone who couldn't afford to leave their own country, let alone holiday in the West.

Newsham's story will change the way you think about your life and the lives of those you meet when you travel.

Reviews for Take Me With You

'Wherever he goes, he turns strangers into friends with this brilliantly simple question: ""What's the best thing that has ever happened to you?"" Added to Newsham's sharp eye, gentle wit, adventurous spirit and generous heart, the suspense of ""Who does he pick"" makes this a perfect travelogue' * Irish Times * 'A thoughtful insight into the human side of travel' * Daily Express *
