Adventures Through COVID Fotias Parris

Parris Fotias has just flown home from a work trip through India. Eleven days later, COVID-19 is officially declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organisation. Soon after, the Australian Government closes its international border under Biosecurity Act 2015, essentially banning all Australians from travelling overseas.




Adventures Through COVID is a story of survival, reinvention and self-reflection. It is a personal odyssey that chronicles the frustrations of living through a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. It is a pilgrimage through past memories looking back on the funny, the ridiculous and the almost forgotten to help cope with an uncertain future. And it is also one man's crusade against the insanity of lockdowns, face masks, travel bubbles and the stockpiling of toilet paper rolls.
