About this ebook

A 68 year old woman explores ten countries alone for a year with one rolling backpack....gathering friendships, adventures and life lessons everywhere she travels.

Ready for adventure and unexpectedly meeting intriguing people from other cultures? Then come along with Betty Brown on this freewheeling escapade off the beaten tourist track: tending chooks and poddies at an Aussie Outback cattle station...scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef...trekking the Himalayas with leeches...confronting Nepalese police trying to keep her Tibetan students from celebrating the Dalai Lama's birthday.

Stay with Betty in "101 bed in a year" from youth hostels in Tasmania to an Irish storyteller's barn in Northern Ireland. Be even more amazed to discover this daring traveler risks traveling the planet by herself while managing fear,
and discovering "alone" is not aloneness - as she jumps into the unknown.

Be inspired by the musings of "Granny" with her rolling backpack as she stumbles into misadventures but more often grand friendships across oceans, deserts and mountains.
