Have you ever wondered what it would be like to leave everything behind and embark on a never-ending adventure around the world? To have no fixed address or responsibilities and instead devote your life to exploring new places, immersing yourself in different cultures, and collecting memories that will last a lifetime. Well, for one brave individual, this dream became a reality.

In this captivating memoir titled "Ten Years From Home," the author takes us on a transformative journey of self-discovery, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of wanderlust. Each page is filled with vivid descriptions of breathtaking landscapes, heartwarming encounters with locals, and the challenges and triumphs faced by an incurable traveler.

A Life of Constant Motion

The memoir begins in the bustling cityscape of New York, where the author, John Adams, makes the audacious decision to abandon his stable career and regular routine in search of something more meaningful. With a backpack filled with essentials and a heart full of dreams, he sets off on what would become an extraordinary ten-year adventure.

From hiking the rugged trails of the Himalayas to diving into the crystal-clear waters of the Great Barrier Reef, Adams takes us to some of the most sublime destinations on the planet. With a flair for storytelling, he recounts his experiences with such detail that the reader can almost feel the cool breeze on their face or taste the exotic flavors of street food.

But this memoir is not just about picturesque landscapes and famous landmarks; it delves deep into the profound impact these experiences have on the author's perspective of the world and his place in it. Adams weaves together tales of personal growth, cultural understanding, and the invaluable lessons learned through his encounters with people from vastly different backgrounds.

A Lesson in Resilience

Despite the allure of traversing the globe, the author does not shy away from portraying the less glamorous side of his journey. The memoir gives an unfiltered account of the grueling physical challenges, the moments of loneliness and vulnerability, and the occasional brushes with danger that come with a life on the road.

Adams paints a vivid picture of trekking through treacherous terrains, battling extreme weather conditions, and navigating through unfamiliar territories where language barriers and cultural differences become significant hurdles. Through his unwavering determination and sheer resilience, he shows us that even in the face of adversity, the rewards of embracing a nomadic lifestyle far outweigh the struggles.

Touching Hearts and Changing Lives

One of the most remarkable aspects of John Adams' memoir is the genuine connections he forms with the people he meets along the way. From humble villagers in remote corners of the world to fellow travelers who share their own stories of wanderlust, Adams showcases the power of human connection and the impact it can have on our lives.

The memoir is peppered with heartwarming anecdotes of locals going out of their way to extend kindness and hospitality, often with limited resources. Adams embraces these encounters with open arms, recognizing that it is the interactions with people that leave the most indelible marks on our memories.

Through his words, he reminds us of the universal thread that binds us all together, regardless of our backgrounds or geographical locations. He encourages us to open our minds, celebrate diversity, and embrace the transformative power of travel in bridging cultural gaps.

A Window into the Soul of a Wanderer

As the memoir concludes, Adams reflects on how his decade-long journey has shaped him into the person he has become. He poignantly touches upon the inevitable changes that come with a life of constant exploration – the longing for a sense of belonging, the difficulty of forming deep-rooted relationships, and the bittersweet feeling of always being on the move.

"Ten Years From Home" is not merely a travelogue; it is an introspective exploration of identity, purpose, and the pursuit of happiness. John Adams invites readers on a soul-searching odyssey, one that will leave them yearning for their own adventure or reminiscing about the times they dared to step out of their comfort zones.

This memoir of an incurable traveler beautifully illustrates that no matter where we wander, be it physically or metaphorically, the journey always leads us back to ourselves.

Are you ready to embark on an unforgettable voyage through the pages of "Ten Years From Home"? Prepare to be transported to distant lands, feel the adrenaline rush of the unknown, and gain a newfound appreciation for the beauty that lies beyond our doorstep.

They probably should have packed more in their new backpacks than a deep longing to see the world. Would their romantic view of travel be tarnished by the harsh realities of life on the road? Or would they forge a lasting bond of self-discovery amid constant change?


It began in 1983, a time before the Internet, Instagram or Skyscanner. It was a journey of connections with people and situations that stretched the limits of their patience and perseverance. It was often hard and sometimes dangerous. But it was a journey of self-discovery, to places where simple choices led to profound transformation, where anything was possible if you just believed in yourself and the power in your hands and heart.

Restless: Memoir of an Incurable Traveller is the first inspiring installment in the Ten Years From Home memoir series. Whether you enjoy getting down and dirty with the locals when you travel or prefer to follow the adventures of others from a comfy armchair, you’ll be mesmerized by this profoundly honest travel memoir.

Grab your copy today and follow the path of this young woman who set out to find herself in the world and find answers to the eternal questions who am I and why am I here?
