There were five rules of Twitchhiker: I can only accept offers of travel and accommodation from people on Twitter; I can't make any travel plans further than three days in advance; I can only spend money on food, drink and anything that might fit in my suitcase; If there is more than one offer, I choose which I take; If there is only one, I have to take it within 48 hours; If I am unable to find a way to move on from a location within 48 hours, the challenge is over and I go home. Bored in the bread aisle of the supermarket one day, Paul Smith wondered how far he could get around the world in 30 days through the goodwill of users of social networking site Twitter. At the mercy of these rules, he set his sights on New Zealand - the opposite point on the planet to his home in Newcastle. All he had to do next was explain the idea to his new wife. In an adventure wrapped in nonsense and cocooned in daft, he travelled by road, boat, plane and train, slept in five-star luxury and on no-star floors, shmoozed with Hollywood A-listers and was humbled by the generosity of the thousands who followed his journey and determined its course. @twitchhiker - I can send you to Wichita by Greyhound if that's any good! Sent 10:13 AM Mar 12th. I was more or less in the exact geographical centre of a different continent, and a nameless woman some 4,000 miles east in Dublin was buying me a bus ticket...

Pressestimmen
Featured on -- Excess Baggage BBC Radio 4 Featured in Thomas Cook Travel 'He made it from London to New Zealand. Yet more amazing, he sounds like a decent, modest witty guy.' The Times 'Genuinely funny... easy-to-read and hard-to-put-down... it's unremitting and utterly addictive.' Real Travel 'Smith flies, sails, rides and begs his way across the globe.' Wanderlust 'I really enjoyed the book and have been spreading the word. Amazing.' -- Iain Morris, TV Producer (creator, The Inbetweeners) 'A madcap and frankly inadvisable adventure... hugely enjoyable, very funny.' -- Martin Kelner, columnist for The Guardian 'Smith is one of our true British eccentrics and should be saluted. He is fearless and possibly quite mad.' -- Alex Lester BBC Radio 2

I dare you not to enjoy this book!!

This book is addictive. As I turned the pages I felt I was by Paul Smith's side on his amazing journey. Each page seemed to make me smile (and indeed often laugh out loud!!) with his honest and brilliant style. A real 'feel good' book, laced with the anticipation of 'Will anyone respond?...How will he get to America?...Will he get a bed for the night?..Could he be kidnapped and never heard of again???..this book makes you realise that there really are fantastic, kind, generous, people out there, beyond your own back yard. This book will make you want to pack your bag, explore new places, meet new people, taste new foods and indeed have afew cheeky bevvies on the way. I dare you not to enjoy this book!!

TwitchHiker was a funny, entertaining book from the first page to the last. Paul Smith is a down to earth person. The way he wrote about his daily struggle with life in general, let alone his travels with Twitter was very real. He had me laughing out loud in many places. This book would be fun for anyone to read even if they have no idea about Social Media and how it all works, although by the end they should have an basic idea about Twitter.

I enjoyed this book from start to finish. Despite all the negative comments he received on Twitter he kept on going. It was amazing to see how generous people are - would be interesting to see if in 2011 people would still be so willing to put a stranger up in their homes. Good on you Paul and job well done
