FAQ
Where did the title come from?
Contrary to popular opinion, the title No Shitting in the Toilet is not entirely gratuitious. It is in fact named after a sign I saw on the toilet door at Jack's Cafe in Dali in China.
To me it summed up everything that I loves about travel - it's illogical, irrational and perverse. Plus I figured people would feel compelled to find out what it was all about.
Where did all the stories come from?
NSITT is based on snippets from all of my journeys. Basically I had wasted a lot of my life aimlessly wandering around the world and figured I needed something to show for it.
Is it true NSITT started as a web site?
Yep. I was having trouble convincing publishers to take me on as a travel writer, so I used the free 1mb web space that came with my dial-up internet account to 'publish' it myself. It proved very popular and the rest, as they say, is history.
Why all the Eastern European editions?
Since the fall of communism people from the east of Europe have taken to the road. Unfortunately their currencies area bit like the Australian dollar - they don't go far. Hence they can appreciate the NSITT way of travelling!
