Whether naked in Budapest, canoeing down the Zambesi, sailing the Great Barrier Reef, eating durian in Malaysia, cooking in Athens, shaking hands with the King of Cambodia, watching bear cubs in Alaska, visiting Gracelands or having a young Egyptian lover, Heather says she feels most alive when on the road. A slow traveler, Heather gets to know locals, eat their food & learn something as she goes. While leaning as she goes, Heather specifically is interested in their language, culture and religion. Naturally, a few names have been changed to protect the innocent. The book is a travel memoir and the reader roams with Heather as she travels alone to many countries throughout 1995 to the early 2000s.
