Adrian (my fellow Librarian, and husband) and I have recently been planning a long dreamed of trip to Australia. I floated the idea of travelling around Australia in a camper van. After further consideration we came to the realisation that as neither of us are at all good with creepy crawlies, in a country where every creature is trying to kill you, we might have a bit of unexpected drama. We quickly re imagined our itinerary to involve some nice hotels. I suggested that sometime in the future we try a camper van or RV somewhere less dangerous. How hard could it be?

As an expat and travel and dog lover, I’ve read all of Jackie’s blogs and books in chronological order. I’ve also read a variety of other writer’s immigration-by-choice stories, so know the genre. Jackie is a good writer, and getting better with every book. I really appreciate the research she does, how she integrates it and how it relates to her sense of humor…and that it is not a rehash of information that can be found in guidebooks. I do think the journey is her point…and I’m never waiting to get somewhere when I’m reading her words. Since I live in Spain I’m looking forward to reading about their adventures in this country one day. Keep it up Jackie!

Aw, thank you so much for your kind words, Virginia. I’m so pleased you have enjoyed my books.
This was an interesting review – it did make me think about my story arc, but as you rightly point out, our travels don’t really have a point or a destination. We travel for travel’s sake. We’re not trying to find ourselves: we just follow our noses to interesting places and make observations as we go.
I am so looking forward to seeing Spain. I’m sure we’ll get there one day! 🙂
