In a little pink room in her house, Danica had a wish-board, pinned with overlapping colour pictures from travel magazines of all the places she had ever dreamed of travelling. The board had been staring at her for probably two years; did she ever think it would come to fruition? Danica did some calculations on how much an around the world ticket would cost her. It would be valid for a whole year - could she survive travelling for that length of time, especially on her own? Backpacking through fifteen countries, Danica (a thirty-five year old mother of two teenagers) finds herself experiencing all of the highs and lows of travelling including being chauffeured through India, sleeping in airports, running out of money, meeting funny characters, magical moments, and learning the skills of survival Sit back in your comfy armchair, and join Danica for this humorous, revealing diary of a lifetime adventure around the world.
