Opis

Penelope always assumed her love of writing would lead to gainful employment and her passion for travel would involve Louis Vuitton luggage. Instead, she found herself in London's financial district crunching numbers and pushing paper. But, after four years of over-indulgence, Canary Wharf lost its luster and Person under the train filled her more with contempt than compassion. It was time to leave the Big Smoke. Time to change comfort zones. Time to trade Prada for Karrimor. Time to backpack around Southeast Asia. On a budget never go trekking was born of a physical and emotional journey that was as unsettling as it was liberating. It is a humorous account of everything that can go wrong and right on a 7-month journey with no real itinerary and often no real clue.
