Author, editor, partner publisher and world traveller, Anne Louise O'Connell was born to travel. On the last day of one trip she loves to begin planning the next. Like many adventure lovers, she works to travel, avoiding packaged tours because the beaten path just doesn't beckon to her. She is always enticed by the overgrown trail or the donkey track that mysteriously juts at an angle off to the left. Here is a collection of stories from just a few of her travels throughout Asia, the Middle East, South America, the Greek and Caribbean Islands along with a smattering of insights into the expat life she lived for 22 years.
If you're a fellow traveller, hopefully this will pique your interest in some new places, or bring back some fond memories of paths you've taken before. If you're an armchair traveller, sit back, put your feet up and enjoy the ride.
