About this listen

This audio edition read by the author, comedian, writer and actor Liam Williams

Mark is going on the trip of a lifetime: a summer touring Europe in the pay of the travel company he works for.

For his plus one, he turns to his idolised cousin, Paris. Everything Mark's not, Paris is a man of the world with a thirst for adventure - even his name is better than Mark's.

But after a catastrophic argument, Mark finds himself setting off alone on his voyage, instead emailing an unresponsive Paris from the road. A cocktail cruise on the Seine, mindful pastry making in Foix, a graffiti tour in Barcelona: Mark will be forced to engage with life and strangers as he never has before, with poignantly recognisable results.

But questions remain: will he ever be able to have an authentic interaction? Will Paris ever reply to his emails? And crucially, will he manage to write SEO friendly copy for every place he visits?

After all, it's not the destination that counts: it's the homes and experiences you encounter along the way.

Critic reviews

"One of the finest comic minds of Generation Y." (The Times)

It was a toss up between this and a Ram Dass book on conscious dying.

I'm glad I plumped for this title instead as it sated me spiritually and prepared me, through northern mettle, for the grim reaper in under half the time.

In essence Homes & Experiences makes life in and outside of lockdown obsolete which for me is the hallmark of money well spent. Funny as well.

This story told through email is a witty travalogue, account of a summer travelling through Europe. It is unconventional and contains many surprises along the way.

Wonderful journey through Europe

Liam Williams is a hugely talented writer and performer, and I absolutely loved this auditory book. The story that unfolds is brilliantly well told, and you’ll end the book feeling that you’ve spent the last few weeks travelling through Europe as Mark’s virtual ‘travel buddy’.

Highly recommended during these times of restricted travel opportunities - and beyond!

Superb!

I wish I had Liam’s expansive vocabulary for this review but I don’t. But fuck me, this was good. How often do you read a book where you learn new things about places you’ve previously visited or that makes you want to go and see the meh view in Toledo? It’s also a book that can wow you with multiple love stories (Mark and Paris being the greatest one). I love how Liam mixes the Leeds sweary vernacular with a flowery, often OTT, vocabulary. I’m a bit obsessed with Liam’s voice and can’t quite explain why but if you listen to this book, you will be too.

Original, sublime, just wonderful

Absolutely loved listening to this. Liam Williams is such a brilliant writer with excellent comedic timing. Having enjoyed watchimg Ladhood, I knew I'd enjoy his writing too and it didn't disappoint. I've already been recommending to friends.

Brilliant

I laughed my way through this, I loved it so much. It's so refreshing to read/listen to something imaginative, evocative and insightful, which comfortably explores broad swathes of modern culture from the insanity of the creative workspace to deep into the inner workings of european cities. While being just funny ! it's a funny book lol. Cannot recommend more highly. And beautifully read.

Absolutely FANTASTIC
