About this item

"Watch out for men with too much wooden jewellery, Amy. I know what you're like . . . you'll let them sucker you in with their yoga chat but essentially, they're unwashed . . . and you don't want to put your face anywhere near an unwashed penis, let me tell you." - Carol, receptionistHaving announced her plans to quit her job and backpack around South America, humorist and gonzo journalist Amy Baker found herself on the receiving end of a whole bunch of over-the-top and seemingly unnecessary advice. Amy shrugged it all off of course - that is, until she ran into trouble. After falling into a crevasse, swimming in crocodile-infested waters, dodging cocaine con artists, and encountering handsome soothsayers, Amy soon starts to wonder if her mother, her boss, and Carol from reception really were onto something.
