Ten countries. Six weeks. Ancient mysteries, modern mishaps, and a journey that proves the best travel stories begin when the plan falls apart.When scientist Dr. Imogene Drakes sets out on a whirlwind global adventure, she expects to keep tight schedules and carefully mapped routes. Instead, missed and cancelled flights, unfamiliar places, and one surprise after another force her to trade control for curiosity and she discovers what happens when a meticulously planned journey refuses to follow the plan.She climbs to the heights of Machu Picchu, stands among the ancient stones of Stonehenge, navigates Cairo’s bustling streets, and encounters wildlife in the islands of the Galápagos. At each iconic destination, history, mythology, science, and faith offer different ways of understanding the world—and humanity’s place within it.As schedules unravel and unfamiliar places challenge her assumptions, Imogene learns that a journey is shaped as much by detours as destinations. Every question, encounter, and unexpected turn becomes an invitation to see the world—and her own carefully ordered life—with fresh eyes.Light-hearted yet thought-provoking, Around the World in 42 Days invites curious listeners and armchair adventurers to experience the mishaps, mysteries, and discoveries of a journey beyond the familiar—and to imagine what might happen if they said yes to the unknown.Pack your curiosity (and maybe a backup phone charger). The world has stories waiting for you. Are you ready to listen?©2026 Queenstown, LLC (P)2026 Queenstown, LLC Adventure Travel Travel Writing & Commentary
