Author Name
Charlotte Bradman (Author)
Charlotte Bradman is a writer, artist, poet and occasional singer from Keighley, West Yorkshire. She has a BA Hons in Fine Art from Bradford College, is a keen advocate of outdoor swimming and lives in a campervan.After a volatile and turbulent childhood, and a subsequent young adulthood complicated further by booze and drugs, Charlotte eventually found solace in mindfulness, long distance hiking, throwing herself frequently into freezing cold water and, as she says, ‘replacing my old addictions with new ones such as chocolate and peanut butter milkshakes!’.Her debut book, The Happy Nomad is both a memoir and a manifesto, urgently questioning the status quo of the world we live in, re-framing trauma, and looking in-depth at our relationship with material things. The Happy Nomad also reveals the ten things that no one can live without, why a ‘leisure battery’ is not something stocked by Ann Summers and why an amorous porpoise should never be ignored...Follow her campervan, hiking and swimming adventures @wildwomanintheblue on Instagram.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

'Extraordinary . .

. a glimpse into a future of endless possibility.

'- Martin Dorey, travel writerA truly inspirational memoir for anyone who dreams of leading a different life. Vivid, self-confessional and darkly humorous, The Happy Nomad is the story of how Charlotte Bradman breaks free from her turbulent past, mounting debts and the nine-to-five treadmill, and finds a simpler way of life living full-time in her beloved campervan.

Freed from the burden of a thirty-year-old boiler on the edge, temperamental ceilings that don't like heights, and letterboxes that mercilessly allow bills and arrest warrants through, Charlotte finds joy in a life lived closer to nature. Stripped back to the very basics, no longer weighed down by material possessions, she discovers the precious gift of time, enabling her to connect with both herself and the people she meets, and to re-evaluate what it truly means to thrive.

The Happy Nomad is a gripping account of how one woman lost her house and found peace and contentment in her campervan home. 'Proof that water in the form of driving rain, wild river, icy lake, or turquoise ocean can build back a body, mend a tattered mind, heal a broken heart, and soothe a weary soul.

'- Dr Wallace J Nichols, marine biologist and author of Blue Mind. .
