Carlo Cretaro is a keen photographer and loves showcasing his travels through his photos. With his mix of Irish and Italian roots, it was probably inevitable that Carlo would develop a serious case of wanderlust.
As it turned out, his first bite from the travel bug occurred as a result of a trip to Las Vegas back in 2005 for a solo poker trip. Exactly how much was lost in stakes that day has been forever obscured by the mists of time, but Carlo gained much more than he lost. That journey was the catalyst that sparked the jump into a life of freedom and adventure which would not have been possible otherwise.
Day by day, his passion for travel continued to grow, and so too did his desire to tell the tale and inspire others to follow in his footsteps. Not being a natural born writer, Carlo put his faith in his trusty digital SLR camera—after all, what better way is there to tell as story than visually?
This subsequently led to him becoming a co-creator of "Next Stop Who Knows?" – a travel/lifestyle blog. Over time, the blog has earned a serious following from people who share a love of adventure and a desire to change their lives for the better.
Naturally, with the on-going success of the blog, the logical step was for Carlo and Florence to release their first book, "The Next Stop Who Knows Guide", with the aim to show people how to emulate Carlo and Florence's location independent lifestyle.
With this book, "A Picture of India", we have followed the same tradition of providing a practical travel book, but we've gone a step further by inviting you to see the country just as we did, even if only through the huge collection of incredible photos we've assembled in this hefty tome.

Alongside Carlo, Florence Murphy is the other half of the "Next Stop Who Knows?" team. This feisty Irish lass developed a passion for travel after moving to Africa for volunteer work in 2009.
After months and months of daydreaming of hitting the open road whilst fulfilling her 9-5 job as a Childcare Practitioner, she finally thought enough was enough and prompted Carlo to start an online business that would allow them to travel and work at the same time. This turned out to be a pivotal move in her life and six months later, in July 2013, she quit her job and has been living out her daydreams ever since.
So far, among many other accomplishments, she has braved the wilds of Africa, ridden a motorcycle across Vietnam, and come eye-to-eye with a criminal gang in Ecuador. She enjoys writing about the ‘faces behind the lens’ and co-authoring the accompanying book is one of her biggest personal accomplishments to date. Now she is ready to share with you the inside details of a lengthy backpacking adventure and learning experience through one of Earth's most incredible places: India!

We would sincerely like to thank those who took the time to support us. We appreciate your contribution and your wish to support the creation of great travel books. While the campaign was much less successful than we anticipated, we are still determined to press ahead and publish anyway, as this is a book that deserves to exist and you deserve to have it!
The only issue we have is that because we're under-funded, it is going to take us an extra month to complete the project and produce the products, but we will honor our promises to you.
