Itchy Feet & Bucket Lists

A Global Adventure

By: Emma Scattergood

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

“I’ve pulled the Bucket List back out. Amongst what’s left are the Trans-Siberian Express, the Terracotta Army, the Swiss Alps and the Panama Canal.”

Easy words spoken over an avocado on toast breakfast - catalyst for a global adventure. A 24 country, 57,000-kilometre unforgettable journey across the steppes of Mongolia, the wilderness of Siberia, Putin’s Russia. Through strike torn France, Europe during winter and over the lonely Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Commencing in October 2019 and undertaken by author Emma and injured husband Darryl, the trip will cement their belief that travel is the epitome of learning and the antidote for depression. And while providing an education on the incredible places visited, there will also be lessons on staying one step ahead of a developing pandemic, Google translate, food poisoning and train accidents. Throw in some weighty goals like having a rum in Barbados, a coffee in Guatemala and guacamole in Mexico; it might even be the cure for their (or your) itchy feet.

treasure of a book

The book is a treasure for readers and must have been a treasure for agents and publishers—its every chapter is a concentrated description of traveling in a new country. Chances are that international readers will find a chapter on their own country, whether of birth or current living.

Wow, I wish I could follow in their footsteps.

This audiobook had me intrigued from the very first chapter. I’ve always dreamed of traveling the world, and Emma and her husband have done just that. They ticked off many items on my bucket list, including their fascinating trip to Switzerland, where they saw so many places on my “must-see” list. But to visit 24 countries—can you say “Dream Come True”! I want to be Emma. I can’t wait to read the next book in the Bucket List Adventures series since this book moved at the perfect pace. And Emma is such a talented writer that she had me longing to visit places I never even wanted to.
