Unlonely Planet
Billy Curry
Twenty-eight-year-old Billy Curry has had enough of the Melbourne rat race. Aproaching the critical stages of his professional career, his inner curiosity of travel begins to take over. He has not seen much of the world and decides to change his four-week annual leave holiday to an around-the-world adventure. He starts with kayaking and trekking through the Himalayas then later gains a unexpected role in a Bollywood film in Bombay.
The much-anticipated European summer finally arrives and Billy is a guest on a royal prince's super yacht, runs with the bulls in Spain, and narrowly escapes the Mob in Italy. Next stop to Sweden to experience the beauty of Scandinavia, the States to sample the fraternity lifestyle, and somehow gets stabbed with a pizza cutter wielded by a Brazilian prostitute in Rio. The nine-month experience is filled with many mishaps, adventures, tragedies, romances and fun-filled episodes.
