TRIP documents, with modern slang and an Irish twang, one man's whirlwind tour of places as varied as Amsterdam to Auschwitz. In a light-hearted way, Mick MacO tells the story of what must have been a mind-blowing experience. The languages, currencies and national traits fly by, but the trip gradually takes its toll on the storyteller.

Mick MacO. is an Irish graphic designer who lives in Germany. He is married with no children and a cat called Samuel Longhorn Clemens. Mick MacO. is a shortened form of the author's Gaelic name, which is too long to pronounce.
