No Rest for the Wandering Soul

By Jack Freestone

A young lawyer leaves the certainty of his hometown in New Zealand behind and heads for England with little more than a backpack, a surfboard, and no clear plan beyond staying in motion.

From crowded Kiwi flats in London to lonely caravans beside Kent orchards, No Rest for the Wandering Soul follows Jack as he drifts through seasonal farm work, hard drinking, fleeting friendships, underground club nights, and restless journeys across Europe. Caught between the professional life he trained for and the freedom he cannot stop chasing, he moves through a world of expats, pickers, travellers, and strangers, always searching for something just beyond reach. Part travel novel, part coming-of-age portrait, this is a sharp, honest story about freedom, dislocation, and the uneasy truth that sometimes movement itself becomes the only home.
