I've met the weirdest and most wonderful people who walk the Earth, seen the most bizarre and the most fantastic sights - and I've rarely come across something I couldn't get a laugh at. I don't think I've ever had a bad trip. Well, apart from in the 1970s, but that's a whole other story. . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Billy set out from Glasgow as a young man, he never looked back. He played his banjo on boats and trains, under trees, and on top of famous monuments. He danced naked in snow, wind, and fire. He slept in bus stations, under bridges, and on strangers' floors. He traveled by foot, bike, ship, plane, sleigh - even piggy-backed - to get to his next destination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBilly has wandered to every corner of the earth and believes that being a Rambling Man is about more than just traveling - it's a state of mind. Rambling Men and Women are free spirits who live on their wits, are interested in people and endlessly curious about the world. They love to play music, make art, or tell stories along the way, but, above all, they have a longing in their heart for the open road.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his joyful new book, Billy explores this philosophy and how it has shaped him, and he shares hilarious new stories from his lifetime on the road. From riding his trike down America's famous Route 66, building an igloo on an iceberg in the Arctic, playing elephant polo (badly) in Nepal, and crashing his motorbike (more than once), to eating witchetty grubs in Australia, being serenaded by a penguin in New Zealand, and swapping secrets in a traditional Sweat Lodge ritual in Canada, Rambling Man is a truly global adventure with the .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 584g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 241 x 161 x 30 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781399802574\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Billy Connolly","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44642035400954,"sku":"9781399802574","price":17.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1697217356931_book.jpg?v=1697484984","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/rambling-man-my-life-on-the-road-9781399802574","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
