Description

Being a businesswoman on a whirlwind tour of forty-three countries is no ordinary adventure.

Unconventional Routes takes you on a wild ride, offering a glimpse into the highs and lows of global exploration. Fasten your seatbelt and prepare to embark on a journey that will have you laughing, cringing, and gasping at the absurdities of Gillian Fawcett’s encounters around the world.

No two journeys were ever alike. Each possesses its own unique flavour, seasoned with a generous blend of incidents ranging from side-splitting hilarity to spine-tingling unease, and at times, hair-raising danger. It’s a never-ending game of travel roulette, where the next destination holds the mystery of what adventure awaits.

 

Gillian Fawcett is a public policy and finance consultant and debut author who lives in north London. She is passionate about travel, improving public services, and advancing gender equality. Unconventional Routes dispels the myth that a punishing work schedule involving international travel means that you can’t have fun too.

Sumita Shah (Independent Consultant) - 21 Aug, 2024

Business travel is like experiencing the unknown - you never know what's going to happen until it happens - sometimes you have to challenge yourself and step outside your comfort zone. Gillian writes brilliantly about her escapades, taking you on her journey in a witty and charming way.


John Davies (Company Director) - 21 Aug, 2024

Travel may broaden the mind, and it certainly oils the wheels of global commerce, but doing it for a living is not for everyone. Gillian's book is a lively personal account of the challenges as well as the rewards of business travel, drawn from her extensive experience as a solo female traveller.


Barbara Grunewald (Consultant) - 21 Aug, 2024

Gillian’s book is a gem…it’s an insight into a professional business woman’s travels around the world and is not only interesting and insightful, but is written in such a joyful and witty way it will make you laugh out loud along the way. One thing is for sure: once you pick up this book you won’t be able to put it down until the end.’
