2018 Reissue - with New Afterword and Previously Unpublished Original Photos!!!Tropical = Paradise, right? Wrong! ‘Gone Troppo – My Search for Tropical Paradise’ is a hilarious travelogue based on award-winning travel writer Stu Lloyd’s travels through tropical South Africa, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Mexico, India, Costa Rica and the Cook Islands. Does he ever find paradise? Better read it and find out.Adventure travel writer Stu Lloyd simply wanted to enjoy seamless sunshine, frolic in azure waters with dusky maidens, and drink chilled beers in exotic climes—all at the publisher’s expense. Too much to ask? Apparently so ...In this riotous romp (see: funny travel books) through The Tropics, Stu often finds more Purgatory than Paradise, more Hell than Heaven. He is pick-pocketed in India, gets becalmed in the pirate-infested waters of Malaysia, bribes an over-zealous policeman in the Philippines and is hospitalised with dengue fever in Singapore. He swims with sharks off Costa Rica, and discovers a new breed in Thailand: ‘Koh Samui is home to three types of sharks: black-tip reef sharks, leopard sharks and German property developers.’But none of this curbs his passion for The Tropics. Or cold beer: ‘We were so delightfully, deliriously drunk, Hunter S. Thompson could’ve been our designated driver.’So if you like the best adventure travel books, lie back in a deckchair, put on your sunscreen and join Stu in this quirky quest for Paradise as he swims, hikes, rides, sails, sweats and drinks his way through Durban, Langkawi, Koh Samui, Singapore, the Philippines, Delhi and Goa, Tijuana, Costa Rica and Rarotonga.Does he ever find Paradise? You’ll just have to read Gone Troppo. And don’t forget to keep the fluids up!What do critics think of Gone Troppo, one of the great time travel books?“Marvellously whimsical ... enormous energy ... entertaining. A wonderful mixture of cynicism, awe, humour, curiosity and good old-fashioned joy.” New Zealand Herald“Stu Lloyd’s work is deservedly popular among those described as ‘not easily offended’. Yet his enjoyable book shows
that under the laddish exterior beats the heart of an engaging individual who has a genuine interest in Asia’s wildlife—human and otherwise!” Nury Vittachi “He has a very endearing writing style, a talent for description and an intelligent, laugh-out-loud wit. An entertaining, easy read.” Expat magazine.“A hilarious read. Entertaining to the hilt, this book elevates armchair travelling to places like the Cook Islands, Oahu, Tijuana and Goa to another more quirky, more fascinating level.” -- Lifestyle Magazine.
