After impulsively buying one-way tickets to Paris, Kyle James and his girlfriend Ashley embark on a whirlwind adventure, leaving behind their stable lives in New York City. With just their backpacks and smartphones, they traverse 15 countries and 38 cities in 114 days, experiencing everything from cliff-jumping in Croatia to bathing with rescued elephants in Thailand. Their journey is a testament to the power of spontaneity and the allure of the unknown, capturing the essence of life on the road and inspiring those who dream of breaking free from the daily grind. Not Afraid of the Fall is more than just a travel memoir; it's a love letter to adventure and a call to action for anyone who has ever hesitated to chase their dreams. Through their experiences, Kyle and Ashley show that the world is full of wonders waiting to be discovered, and that sometimes, the most rewarding journeys are the ones we least expect.
