In his brilliant first book, 150 Thing Every Man Should Know, Gareth May instructed the young man about town in vital life lessons such as how to undo a girl's bra with one hand, and how to down a pint without being sick. All well and good. But there comes a time in most young men's lives when, their education completed, they decide to spread their wings and travel to foreign climes. From international dining etiquette to the safe ascension of Kilimanjaro, and surviving a shark attack to cooling cans of beer in the Savanna sun, Gareth's simple and brilliantly executed new book, Man of the World, is a must-have for the modern man setting off passport in hand for the first time. Covering every possible travel scenario - from international chat-up lines to how to survive a shark attack, must-visit nudist colonies or how to organise the ultimate stag weekend abroad - never before has a book listed how to read global currency rates on one page, and how to drink snake blood in Cambodia on the next.
Gareth Mays follow-up to 150 Things Every Man Should Know revolves around travel tips for the adventurous chap abroad. So, should you be getting married by an Elvis lookalike in Vegas or climbing Kilimanjaro or even looking to sample snake blood in Cambodia, this is your essential manual * The List *
With travelling advice and trustworthy recommendations, Man of the World should be the first thing in your suitcase this summer * Shortlist magazine *
Gareth May is an author, humourist, part-time stand-up comic and minor internet celebrity. His first book, 150 Things Every Man Should Know, was selected as one of the best books of the year by the Independent on Sunday and has been published in the USA, Russia and China. His humorous but informative videos have garnered more than 300,000 views on YouTube, in spite of a ban for his ergonomically challenging, self-administered 'Back, sack and crack' vid - thankfully, the tape has since been destroyed. Devonshire born and bred, he now lives in London.
