Extraordinary . . . a glimpse into a future of endless possibility. * Martin Dorey, travel writer *
Charlotte Bradman's book The Happy Nomad, about her journey through trauma and adversity to the peace and clarity of blue spaces, provides proof that water in the form of driving rain, wild river, icy lake, or turquoise ocean can build back a body, mend a tattered mind, heal a broken heart, and soothe a weary soul. * Dr Wallace J Nichols, marine biologist and author of Blue Mind *
This book is tremendous. A book that takes you to places of real sadness and trauma. But also to the freedom and joy of saying no to stuff and debt, and hello to the open road with a joy and delight in life and people that enchants. With a dash of politics along the way, The Happy Nomad makes you really think about what it means to truly live rather than just have. And to ask what, really, does home mean to us as individuals. A wonderful, evocative, thoughtful delight of a book. - Peg Alexander, Broadcaster, Journalist, Presenter
The Happy Nomad is a gripping, sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking account of how one woman lost everything and how, by stepping off the path, she found her way. * Ben Fogle, author and presenter *
