One couple’s inspiring story as they circumnavigate the world seeking items on an incredible bucket list. “I’ve pulled the Bucket List back out. Amongst what’s left are the Trans-Siberian Express, the Terracotta Army, the Swiss Alps and the Panama Canal.” Easy words spoken over an avocado on toast breakfast - catalyst for a global adventure. A 24 country, 57,000-kilometre unforgettable journey across the steppes of Mongolia, the wilderness of Siberia, Putin’s Russia. Through strike torn France, Europe during winter and over the lonely Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Commencing in October 2019 and undertaken by author Emma and injured husband Darryl, the trip will cement their belief that travel is the epitome of learning and the antidote for depression. And while providing an education on the incredible places visited, there will also be lessons on staying one step ahead of a developing pandemic, Google translate, food poisoning and train accidents. Throw in some weighty goals like having a rum in Barbados, a coffee in Guatemala and guacamole in Mexico; it might even be the cure for their itchy feet. P. Reefer - Reedsy Discovery Loved It!

Liz H - Goodreads From the Great Overland Train Journeys across China, Mongolia and Russia, through the highlights of Europe, to the Cruise over Atlantic and Pacific Oceans via the Panama Canal, Emma's descriptions bring the scenes to life. This is one global adventure! - Emily Riches - Goodreads Full of insight, curiosity and interesting facts about each of the destinations she and her husband Darryl visited.....just as the pandemic is beginning to unfold, and we hear about all the anxiety and uncertainty of this tumultuous time. Michelle S - Goodreads I'm an Occupational Therapist and as Emma's first book did, this book reminded me of the emotional, psychological and physical value of travelling. Independent Book Review Itchy Feet & Bucket Lists is an enjoyable and entertaining read, especially for those who like to travel or who are feeling nostalgic for some pre-pandemic global adventure. Scattergood does an excellent job of interspersing the travel narrative with historical and geographical information and helpful tips for those who wish to one day embark on their own adventure. I write my adventure books for two reasons. The first is to share my experiences with you - whether it be an awe-inspiring glimpse of an ancient civilisation in Petra, a thrilling train ride across Mongolia, the feeling of overindulging on an English cream tea or what it's like having your breasts amputated. The second reason I write is for educational purposes. If you can learn anything from my books, then I have been successful. Of course, I hope that you have learnt lots of things.
