Most people are happy to spend their four weeks annual holiday relaxing by the sea, but not Jason Toll. So strap yourself in readers, because Toll is going to take you on the journey of a lifetime in his book, Moscow Bound.
 
This autobiographical account, accompanied with photos, follows Jason Toll, a young Australian surfing nomad, as he backpacks through some of the most captivating and extreme locations on the planet. A luckless traveller, Jason's journey begins in war-torn Kosovo, but when he suspects that he is the target of a kidnap plot, he flees on an exciting expedition across both Eastern and Western Europe. Along the way, he traces his family heritage to the death camp of Auschwitz; he loses his passport in the Arctic; he nearly drowns whilst surfing in Morocco; he survives a night on a frozen Siberian lake in a self-made igloo; plus he experiences many other thrilling events. The journey culminates in Moscow, under a veil of illegitimate employment, but not before the Russian secret service arrest Jason for spying.
 
From Paris to Amsterdam; Kosovo to Warsaw; Stockholm to The Arctic; Siberia to Moscow; this is a trip like no other. Moscow Bound will absorb readers until the captivating end unfolds.
