In this light-hearted and humorous novella, Kate Mathieson traces her journey from suburban Sydney life to the rice paddies of Taiwan, a country with many engrained social customs, most of which she seems to strangle. Living amongst rice paddies and posing as an English teacher, Kate encounters fruit that smells like old socks, a classroom of students who don’t want to learn and a country that was never made for vegetarians.Bitten by the travel bug, Kate makes her way to London, to begin a backpacking adventure around Europe. Here she flirts with danger, with an Italian model, and with the idea of escaping her daily life forever.This is a memoir written especially for every nomadic misfit who thought they should pack up their life and travel across Asia and Europe. A perfect summer read. Best accompanied by a cup of tea.
