Free eBook: Backpacker Points and the Quest for Aunt Sheila - one girl's travels, tips and tricks [Kindle Edition]

Becci Coombes left for a trip of a lifetime with a rucksack that weighed 20 kilos, a pair of steel-toe capped boots and a cross-stitch kit of Van Gogh’s Sunflowers.
Across two continents she was burnt, bitten, stung, medically over-dosed, permanently lost and nearly drowned on a number of occasions, but she still found time to track down the perfect sticky toffee pudding recipe and learn how to crack a whip. She never finished the cross-stitch.

Deborah Dooley, writer, journalist, columnist.
