Julia Blackburn has always collected things that hold stories about the past, especially the very distant past: mammoth bones, little shells that happen to be two million years old, a flint shaped as a weapon long ago. Shortly after her husband’s death, Blackburn became fascinated with Doggerland, the stretch of land that once connected Great Britain to Continental Europe but is now subsumed by the North Sea. She was driven to explore the lives of the people who lived there—studying its fossil record, as well as human artifacts that have been unearthed near the area.

And would you even want to share a crude-oil bath with a retired croc hunter in Azerbaijan? Or pull a golden ring from a turd? Graham and his wife Lisa have done all of these things. Travel Agents - the warm and witty follow-up to the best-selling Travel Seekness - continues the unforgettable story of Lisa and Graham’s hilarious and often hair-raising escapades around the world.

Lisa and her husband Graham's hilarious trip saw them buying snacks from "voodoo vendors" in Taiwan, almost drowning off a Philippine beach, stumbling across "death porn" in Thailand and meeting The Bogeyman in a Pushkar restaurant. While abroad they contracted a serious case of travel seekness - an irresistible urge to go in search of places to be, people to see and strange stuff to eat - which compelled them to do World Heritage Shites in Egypt, evade Guinness-swigging swingers in a Dublin pub and fly to Cuba with a suspected terrorist.

All the while navigating on one of the toughest roads -love.
