Charlie Carroll is the author of The Friendship Highway (2014), No Fixed Abode (2013) and On the Edge (2010). He has twice won the K Blundell Trust Award for "writers under 40 who aim to raise social awareness with their writing", wrote the voice-over for the TV series Transamazonica (2017), and is one of the Kindness of Strangers storytellers.
In the summer of 2011, Charlie found the school he taught at could not afford to renew his teaching contract. With no job and no money, but suddenly all the time in the world, he decided to travel from Cornwall to London in a peculiarly
old-fashioned, quintessentially English and remarkably cheap way – as a tramp, on foot, sleeping rough.
The journey was filled with colour, surprise and danger, and a range of memorable encounters – from Stan who once saved a boy from being raped but whose homelessness stemmed from a paralysing addiction, to Ian, who lived in a tent on Parliament Square. With a striking mix of travel and current affairs writing, No Fixed Abode sheds light on a side of the UK few ever see from within.
