Having an adventure is easy. Step 1drive down ones street. Step 2keep driving. Step 3stop at London!
Welcome to Our World is about a comfortably settled David Gairns and his teenage son Will on one extraordinary drive from Melbourne, Australia to London, England through Asia in 2010. The spark that started it, their hopes, their dreams, their doubts and stresses are all here. It tells of Wills girlfriend Lauren who just kept on popping up and of father and son bonding or not bonding at all, as so happens. It is about a real journey and a life journey, of acting the fool and finding a life. Of the highs and the lows and of the joy of being alive, of so many generous strangers who helped along the way.
They hope you enjoy the drive, the experience, the journey and the adventures they encountered everywhere.

Autoren-Porträt von David Gairns, Will Gairns
David GairnsDavid is a man who used to think a big trip ended after a day's driving! He was born and educated in Australia and has been a construction manager, academic, company director and building consultant primarily involved in providing expert evidence. Father of Hamish and Will, David is married to Ros and they live in Melbourne. Welcome to Our World written with Will is his first book.
In some ways coming late to writing is a blessing. It allowed David time to reflect on what’s important in telling a story about what was essentially a long drive. From the mud and confusion of writing it became crystal clear that his relationship with Will and others was what their journey was really about. As much as a long drive and all the extraordinary events that went with it, their time together was about how a father and son got on, their tolerance of each other. David’s writing reflects that focus.
Will Gairns
A trip to Europe? Or a week or two in Thailand, maybe? Not Will. There can't be many 18 year-olds who have captained a school cricket team, worked on farms during school holidays, driven solo across the Nullabor, lived and worked on a cattle station in the mid-west of Western Australia and driven Melbourne to London with his father. But that's Will. He has recently completed his carpentry apprenticeship, and was travelling in South and Central America at the time of writing.
