*Finalist in the 2019 Eyelands Book Awards* Nice girls don't travel. At least, not by themselves they don't. This was the argument Kathy's unyielding paternal grandmother used to try to convince her to follow the traditions of going to university and marrying well. But Kathy was determined to follow dreams, not customs. Her rash retort that she was going to travel around the world-before she was 21-set her on a path of unexpected experiences and discovery.Nice Girls DO Travel is the humorous memoir of a committed but naive 19-year-old girl who left Montreal in 1968. As she got into the habit of facing her fears, the challenges became less daunting, more exciting. Sometimes she slept in mansions, sometimes she slept in a car or a railway station waiting room. Often she was hungry and almost out of money. Never did she regret her decision to defy convention. Kathy returned home 18 months later as a confident woman. Her adventures and misadventures had taken her to Ireland, Scotland, England, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, through the Panama Canal, Fort Lauderdale and back to Montreal. This is a story of love and laughter, friendship and hardship and important lessons learned. It is the story of finding the way even in darkness. (Nice Girls DO Travel is a prequel to Anywhere but Saudi Arabia.)
