The greatest thing about travel is that you never know what awaits around the next corner...or how it might change you.

Nurture your mind, body and soul in this collection of 11 true short stories that span10 different countries. These nonfiction travel stories are told by a professional peacekeeping trainer and woman of adventure.

From the unexpected madness of a pig trade in Botswana, to the freed prisoner who wound up in my car in Ethiopia, to the sheer terror of having a gun held to my head in Kenya's "bandit country" these stories are sure to make you laugh, cry and quiver.

My career in humanitarianism began in 1970 after I left a dry and unrewarding management job in the National Health Service in England. My work started in Botswana and then elsewhere in Africa, which led me to become the Director of Training at the Pearson Peacekeeping Centre in Nova Scotia, Canada and later to the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations. Through this work, I have travelled to over a dozen countries over the course of 10 years. Subsequent consulting work led to a good many more.

And now I'm here to tell the tales - the good, the bad and the ugly.

In the end, I hope you will gain a new view of different parts of the world, and in particular, those far less travelled by the masses.

Perhaps your very own worldly adventure is coming sooner than you think.

Über den Autor
Angela Mackay was born and raised in London, England. After receiving her education at the University of Wales, she emigrated to Canada (temporarily) in 1978. She's still [...] professional teaching, training and peacekeeping career began in 1970 when she volunteered as a high school teacher in Botswana. Curiosity struck about a world beyond what was comfy and predictable, combined with a passion for travel and a thirst for the unknown and its inhabitants. Now in retirement mode, Angela spends far more time reading and writing than clamouring for travel in increasingly conflicted and insecure environments. She writes, teaches yoga and relishes being home close to family - but with enough fuel left in the tank if the right adventure happens to come her way.
