When Craig Briggs and his wife Melanie followed their dream of a life in the sun, things didn’t go exactly to plan.
Craig’s bestselling memoir Journey To A Dream began this life-changing story. The fifth book in The Journey series, Driving Ambition, chronicles their ever-evolving lives.
In Driving Ambition Craig and Melanie get to grips with their latest property restoration project. Keeping costs down comes at a price. Suppliers and subcontractors test their patience and beasts in the bodegas keep them on their toes. With the help of their builder Manolo, they transform a romantic ruin into luxury accommodation for the discerning traveller.
But there’s more to life than work. Maintaining a healthy work-life balance takes precedence. Their quest for the Holy Grail is a great success and leads to an amazing discovery. Wacky ideas keep life interesting. Who said you need to work in an office to hold an office Christmas party?
Craig’s driving ambitions have mixed results but the trip of a lifetime takes them far from their rural home in Galicia and all the way to Wollongong in Australia via Shanghai in China. A forty-nine-day tour to six countries on three continents, flying 27,000 miles and driving over 13,000 kilometres.
Once again, Craig’s attention to detail and flowing writing style will keep you turning the pages.”
