Ben Aitken Libros
La escritura de Ben Aitken a menudo surge de experiencias poco convencionales y una aguda observación. Su trabajo inicial implicó seguir los pasos de un popular escritor de viajes por el Reino Unido, lo que dio lugar a una colección de notas a pie de página humorísticas. Aventurándose más, Aitken se mudó a Polonia para sumergirse en una tienda local de fish and chips, una experiencia que se convirtió en la base de su siguiente libro. A través de estos viajes únicos, Aitken explora los matices culturales y las aventuras personales con una voz distintiva y cautivadora.






One millennial, six coach trips, one big generation gap.
"Long story short, I've decided to retrace your steps. Why? Because I'm bored. Take it from me, there's only so many tacos a guy can serve before he wants to put a pint of salsa down his windpipe"--Back cover.
Why do the Poles leave Poland? Travel writer Ben Aitken booked a one-way ticket to Poznan to find out. This account of his year is a bittersweet portrait of an unsung country.
