Midhurst writer pens inspiring book on solo travelling

Travels with George is the tale of Vivien Fallows’s solo travel mission, which she undertook in 2000 after her children set off for new lives on the other side of the globe.

Accompanied by her trusty suitcase, which is called George, Vivien visited her backpacking son in Australia, snorkelled in the Cook Islands, spent 24 hours in Los Angeles, and took part in adrenaline-pumping activities in New Zealand. At the request of her husband, Vivien wrote these stories in a diary, which later became a book - Travels with George.
