"Left at 11am to go pirate-hunting." Wait, what? When Jules reads his grandfather's diary, he discovers he's not the first in his family with travel stories to tell. Looking for his own adventures, Jules crosses continents while learning the ropes as a Rough Guide writer. And because travel is unpredictable, there's no knowing what his next trip will bring.
