Talk Radio Europe interviewed Brian Robson – author of the non-fiction adventure book, The Crate Escape. Radio Host, Hannah Murray, during the interview said, “Brian’s first book, The Crate Escape narrates his first travelling experience and his devil-may-care attitude to achieve his wish and return home even if it means risking his life to do so”. The complete interview can be accessed here.

In the book, Brian has narrated his experience of making up his mind to travel home to the United Kingdom while he was living in Australia at the age of nineteen. He had issues travelling as he neither had the proper documents nor the money to travel. He was unhappy with his life in Melbourne. In an exhibition, Brian and his friends saw a wooden crate and chalked out a plan to move him to the United Kingdom. Finally, he mustered up the courage and went on the journey in the crate. The journey was extremely tough as he had to deal with extreme temperatures. Because of his perseverance and determination, he became the first person who flew for five days to cross the Pacific Ocean. To get a copy of the book, click here.
