Travels with Rachel: In Search of South America

By: George Mahood

Narrated by: Nathaniel Priestley

Knee-deep in a swamp in the depths of the Bolivian jungle, hunting for anacondas in a pair of sandals, it occurred to George that perhaps he should have booked that all-inclusive honeymoon to the Maldives after all.

Join George and Rachel on their hilarious journey through the wilds of Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, as they climb volcanoes, fish for piranhas, trek through the Amazon rainforest, take death-defying bus rides, sample some of the continent’s strangest delicacies, and try to get to Machu Picchu. Armed only with a basic knowledge of Spanish, small backpacks, and bags of enthusiasm, they set off together on what promised to be a life-changing adventure.

Good armchair travel!

I enjoyed this book. It was a humorous easy read about a young couple’s journey through South America. Some good and bad experiences but generally upbeat and mixed in with some interesting local history.

Good listen

Quite funny! Now I want to travel to South America. You will not be disappointed.

Great Road Trip Book! Highly recommend!

We listened to this book while driving from Texas to Florida. Even my 20-year-old removed her earbuds and got caught up in the story. My husband read the book last year and read me several of the funny scenes. They were just as hilarious the second time hearing them. Excellent narration. Highly recommend!

Great Story and Narration

This is the second book I’ve read by George Mahood. This one was not quite as funny as Not Tonight Josephine, but still a great story and made me more interested in visiting South America.
