Nature of the Work: Creative Non-Fiction
Not Yet is a work of creative non-fiction based on the personal experiences, recollections, and subjective perceptions of its author, Frank Segers, over the period 2023 to the present. All events are portrayed to the best of the author's memory.
To protect the privacy, dignity, and safety of individuals, certain names, identifying characteristics, physical descriptions, locations, and timelines have been changed, fictionalised, or omitted. Some characters are composites of multiple people encountered during the author's travels. Dialogue has been reconstructed from memory and is not intended to be verbatim. Any resemblance between fictionalised composite characters and real persons, living or dead, beyond the author's own acknowledged personal relationships, is entirely coincidental.
Photographs, Video, and Media
The photographs and video clips included in this memoir, or published on its associated social media channels, that show identifiable individuals have been used with the explicit prior consent of the person depicted. Where consent was not obtained, faces have been obscured or blurred, or the image or footage selected or edited so that no individual is identifiable. All such photographs and video clips carry the protective digital watermark or on-screen attribution of notyetmemoir.com, and are treated identically for the purposes of consent, privacy, and copyright.
Subjective Perspective and Expression of Opinion
The author's descriptions of events, people, and places represent his personal, subjective experience and artistic opinion. They do not constitute objective factual reporting, journalism, or verified statements of fact about any identifiable third parties. This memoir is published strictly as an artistic expression and does not intend to harm, defame, or embarrass any person, living or deceased. It is a personal account of one man's journey, told from his own perspective, in good faith, and with affection for the people and places encountered along the way. Some details of events, timelines, and locations have been compressed or lightly adjusted for narrative clarity. The emotional and situational substance of every experience described is true.
Practical Information and Personal Responsibility
This memoir is a personal story, not a guidebook or a manual. Along the way it describes places, routes, transport, accommodation, food and drink, border crossings, activities, products, and services that the author chose in his own circumstances, and the episode 'The Nomad's Toolkit' gathers practical reflections drawn from years of travel. None of it is professional advice, a recommendation, or a guarantee of safety, legality, or outcome for anyone else. Conditions, laws, prices, and risks change from place to place and from day to day. Please use your own judgement, assess your own situation, and seek qualified advice where it matters, rather than relying on anything written here. You travel and act at your own risk, and to the fullest extent permitted by law the Author accepts no liability for any accident, injury, illness, loss, theft, or other harm arising from decisions you make in reliance on this memoir.
