Lisa Rose Wrights 5* Review of From B to A
“This book has everything:
- Adventure (who takes a 16-tonne ex-army truck on narrow Albanian roads anyway?)
- Near death experiences (burnt out brakes on said roads or the possibility of a drone strike – you choose!)
- A wealth of information about the region …
- As well as some incredible fun facts (I’ll never look at a horse’s rear in the same way again – thanks Jackie!)
- And of course, it has four fab dogs…“
If you want to know how come we’re touring in a HUGE ex-army truck, Building The Beast: A funny true story of van life, DIY disasters, and one very big truck has been selected for a Kindle Deal during the month of April 2026 and is available for only 99p on Amazon UK.
About From B to A:
From B to A: Britain to Albania – The True Story of an Overland Van Life Adventure Through Europe to the Balkans – With Dogs is the first book in my Never Mind The Balkans series.
This book follows our journey in The Beast – our sixteen-tonne, self-built truck – taking the long way through France and Italy to Albania. No motorways, no rush – and absolutely no guarantee that things would go to plan…
Blurb:
The Comic Memoir of a Questionable Road Trip
“Don’t go there,” they said.
So Jackie and Mark did. In their sixteen-tonne truck, The Beast. With four dogs.
Looking beyond the headlines – and drawn by curiosity – they set course for a misunderstood country on the fringes of Europe.
Their slow, dog-filled adventure winds through France and Italy, where they seek out quiet roads, wild camps, and experiences you won’t find in guidebooks.
But the journey didn’t quite go to plan.
When they finally cross into Albania, a frightening incident forces them to confront the realities that come with choosing an unconventional life – particularly when others depend on you.
Rich in history and populated with unforgettable characters, this is not a glossy van-life fantasy. It’s a wry, honest, and witty memoir about choosing curiosity over fear – even when it comes at a price.
If you’ve ever wondered what lies beyond the well-trodden routes – and whether it’s worth the risk – this journey is for you.
Perfect for readers who enjoy: van life • overland expeditions • The Balkans • dog-friendly travel • slow adventure • funny, heartfelt travel memoirs.
