Bedtime Adventure Stories for Grown Ups

Have you ever wanted to kayak down a gorge in New Zealand? Or run night-time marathons through the Californian desert? How about rollerblading 100 miles around Amsterdam?

You have? Then pour yourself a cup of cocoa, get those jim-jams on and prepare to escape into a world of adventure with this collection of life-affirming short stories from award-winning adventurer Anna McNuff.

Go road trippin' through the Canadian winter. Bivvy out on a mountaintop in Wales. Explore pockets of wilderness around the city of London or take a journey by bike across Europe.

Always upbeat and often insightful, Bedtime Adventure Stories is the antidote to adult life. It'll have you drifting off into the land of nod, dreaming up journeys of your very own - and it's proof that the only thing standing between you and the next wild adventure is a willingness to step beyond your front door.

Because grown-ups need bedtime stories too.

Anna McNuff is an adventurer, bestselling author and restless mumma of three small humans. She's written six books for grown-ups and one for kids - all of them about travel and adventure. She also won the Amazon Kindle Storyteller award for her South American Travel memoir, Llama Drama.

Her latest read - 'Bedtime Adventure Stories for Grown Ups 2' - is a follow-up to the highly popular first collection, featuring bite-sized true travel stories about freedom, family chaos and escaping the everyday.

Anna narrates all her own audiobooks and has a whale of a time attempting to do character accents (and her listeners are rather fond of these accents too).

Before becoming a mum, Anna's travels include cycling a beautiful pink bicycle through each and every state of the USA, running the length of New Zealand, cycling 5,500 miles through the Andes Mountains and a 2,300+ miles (90 marathons) run through Britain… in her bare feet. (She believes that being a mum is harder than any of these challenges, FYI).

At the moment, Anna is on a new adventure, slow travelling the world with her five-year-old daughter and three-year-old twins. It's colourful chaos, and she writes about her experiences in her weekly 'Restless Mumma' newsletter on Substack.

Named by The Guardian as one of the top female adventurers of our time, Condé Nast Traveler included her in a list of the 50 most influential travelers in the world. She is also the co-founder of Adventure Queens, an online women's adventure community with 15,000+ members.

She can be found up a mountain, or on Substack, or @annamcnuff on Instagram or Facebook.
