This was the affirmation that Brad Newsham repeated daily as he cycled alone across the Japanese Alps to Mount Fuji, free to wander wherever he chose. But back home in San Francisco, life hadn't been so rosy: his wife had met someone else and wanted a divorce. He tried everything to change her mind, eventually leaving his job and buying a one-way ticket to Asia in the hope that she would miss him. It worked...and then HE met someone else on a bus in Hong Kong.   One of the first wave of Western backpackers to blaze a trail through China and Russia, Brad Newsham travelled from the neon-lit streets of Tokyo to the epic prairies of Mongolia in a journey that took him across Asia by bicycle, boat, bus and the Trans-Siberian railway. With its rich and fascinating cast of characters, ALL THE RIGHT PLACES is classic travel writing at its very best.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49544436646161,"sku":"GOR001327861","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50357661761809,"sku":"CIN0553816020A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50357664252177,"sku":"CIN0553816020G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52961545421073,"sku":"GOR001719058","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0553816020.jpg?v=1751452924"},{"product_id":"spectacular-ireland-book-brad-newsham-9783829035941","title":"Spectacular Ireland","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49561051037969,"sku":"GOR003155786","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50966439035153,"sku":"CIN3829035942VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3829035942.jpg?v=1751429657"},{"product_id":"take-me-with-you-book-brad-newsham-9780345449122","title":"Take Me With You","description":"It was the dream of a euphoric young traveler awed by the crystalline silence of Afghanistan's Hindu Kush: \u003ci\u003eSomeday, when I am rich, I am going to invite someone from my travels to visit me in America.\u003c\/i\u003e Twenty-five years later, Brad Newsham set out from his home in San Francisco to make good on his youthful vow-and this irresistibly charming, deeply humane book is the chronicle of what happened along the way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGiving himself one hundred days to journey around the world, Newsham began in the Philippines and immediately found himself embroiled in serendipitous adventures and unexpected relationships.
