She's back... and on another hilarious, madcap adventure
POLLY EVANS is very cowardly and not at all fond of danger. She
does, however, have an unfortunate tendency to seek out discomfort
and sometimes even downright pain. It was this ugly trait that led
her five years ago to throw in her comfortable office job -
complete with its twizzly chair and free use of the coffee machine
- and to take off on a leg-battering bicycle tour of Spain.
The result of her endeavours was one very sore set of limbs and her
first book, It's Not About the Tapas, which was short-listed for
the WHSmith People's Choice Travel Writing award. She indulged in
further escapades the following year, this time swapping
pedal-power for a motorbike to travel around New Zealand and to
write her second book, Kiwis Might Fly. Polly's third book, Fried
Eggs with Chopsticks, tells the story of her sometimes-desperate
battle to tour China by public transport while On a Hoof and a
Prayer sees her learning to ride horses in Argentina. Polly is also
an award-winning journalist. When she's not on the road, Polly
lives in London.
