Why I Write My Adventure Books
I write my adventure books with two purposes in mind. The first is to share my experiences with you—whether it be an awe-inspiring glimpse of an ancient civilisation at Petra, a thrilling train ride across Mongolia, standing beside the sacred Ganges at Varanasi, the feeling of loneliness while crossing the Atlantic Ocean, or what it’s like to have your breasts amputated. I also write to inform. If you learn something from my books, then I have succeeded. Of course, I hope you learn many things.
The Bucket List Adventure Series
The Bucket List Adventure Series follows our real-life journeys across continents — by sea, rail, and road — in search of connection, health, and perspective. From the bustle of Asia and the emptiness of Mongolia to the calm of the Mediterranean, these memoirs blend storytelling, travel insight, and the unpredictable, often life-changing lessons of exploring the world on the move.
Bucket Lists and Walking Sticks
After a life-changing accident forces early retirement, Emma and her husband set out to tick off their old bucket list — a seven-month, 19-country adventure filled with humour, healing, and unforgettable moments.
Itchy Feet & Bucket Lists
When breakfast talk turns to adventure, Emma and Darryl set off on a 24-country, 57,000-kilometre odyssey from the steppes of Mongolia to the canals of Panama — a story of humour, endurance, and life lessons learned on the move.
Next Chapter Travel
Four years, one cancer recovery, and countless dreams later, Emma and Darryl board a ship from Australia to Europe, then cross Greece, Türkiye, and India by rail — a heartfelt memoir of resilience, curiosity, and connection.
