a travel memoir 

Lunch with a gun in Buenos Aires, Carnival with Sophia Loren in Tenerife, a cycling adventure near the North Korean border and an impromptu English teaching day in Burma are just some of the experiences recounted in this memoir of twenty-five travel tales, accompanied by the author’s own images. With journeys spanning three decades and over twenty countries, the author takes the reader on multiple adventures across the globe from her first solo journey as a naïve, but intrepid, teenager visiting Wales in the mid-1980s to becoming a professional travel writer twenty years later and spending twelve years travelling the world in search of good stories (good food, good wine and wicked, unusual activities).

Since actual travel is limited these days, I’d like to recommend a book I’m enjoying while waiting – stories from the travels of lifelong woman traveller, Wayward Wanderings, by Anna Maria Espsäter. A collection of all the quaint, funny, weird, inspiring, slightly dangerous and sometimes frustrating situations one gets into while wandering the world.
