Great news for ALL my Slovenian fans.

March 5th, 2010

SloveniansSpati okrog (kavč surfanje ogled sveta). I’m not sure if that makes any sense, but that’s what I got when I translated ‘Sleeping Around (a couch surfing tour of the globe)’ into Slovenian on Google. Today I signed the contract for a Slovenian translation of Sleeping Around (which I’m guessing isn’t done entirely on Google translation) and should be out there later in the year. That now means my books have been translated into German, Thai, Mandarin and Slovenian. Not quite world domination, but I’m working on it. I’ll be interested to see what the Slovenians do with the cover. The funniest one so far was the Mandarin translation for Rule No.5: No sex on the bus. The front cover looks like a kid’s book (Rugrats go to Paris) when the book is about debauched Australians getting drunk, vomiting and having sex in campsites around Europe. These are my ‘translated’ covers so far…

    I wonder why Germans, of all people, do so much travelling… or is it only travelling to the 23 countries I have been?

    Anyway, world domination begins with a few well-chosen single steps! ;)
