James Little is a father of two grown up boys and lives with his wife in Singapore where he runs his own sustainable energy consultancy. He was born in London in 1970, and ever since 1977, when his parents brought him, and his three younger brothers, on the road trip of a lifetime, he has been fascinated by travel. He worked in the industry for 15 years after studying a master’s degree in Tourism Management. It was his 2022 move to Singapore – 45 years after his epic childhood journey – that gave him the motivation to finally tell this story. His weekly Facebook blog documenting the journey drew contributions from family and friends across the globe, rekindling memories and connections that enriched the book’s narrative.
