Reviews

"You're going to want to grab some tissues before you read this." --Travel + Leisure "There is nothing like young love." --Country Living "An alluring read for fans of travel writing. Not Afraid of the Fall is both exhilarating and inspiring. After reading this book you'll want to go on your own epic adventure." --Ed Stafford, Discovery Channel presenter and Guinness World Record-holding first man to walk the Amazon "Reading this memoir is like being tucked into a new best friend's pocket and going on the adventure you wish you'd been brave enough to take. Kyle James navigates different countries, cultures and the full range of emotion that comes with traveling with someone you love, with humor, honesty and an infectious sense of wonder." --Katie McKenna, author of How to Get Run Over by a Truck "Not Afraid of the Fall proves that the combination of crazy-in-love and bitten-by-wanderlust can lead to amazing places--if you're willing to take the leap and let it. Kyle and Ash explore Europe and Thailand with an insatiable thirst for authentic experiences, air conditioning, and beer. Most of the time, they manage all three." --Amy McCullough, author of The Box Wine Sailors
