Two old school friends reconnect unexpectedly after 35 years and discover that they both love traveling--and the more exotic and far-flung the location, the better! Not having a clue whether they will get along, the eccentric pair embark on a trial journey to Morocco. That tentative beginning has turned into a series of wonderfully unusual holidays, and Hil and Liz have been circumnavigating the globe ever since. They have taken in Marrakech, Fez, and the Atlas Mountains; Patagonia and the Galapagos Islands; Istanbul and Cappadocia. They've been on safari in Namibia, Botswana, and the Serengeti, attended music festivals in Naples and Prague, and made a pilgrimage to the western isles of Mull and Iona. Along the way they have encouraged, enraged, and entertained each other, while living through countless adventures.This is a book for thrill-seekers and armchair travelers alike, a celebration of friendship and laughter--and an inspiration for anyone who's longed to venture outside their comfort zone and travel to exotic places.

Autorenporträt
Hilary Linstead and Elisabeth Davies went to school together in the UK before their lives took very different turns. Hilary left England for Australia at 21, pursuing her dream of becoming an actress. Discovering she couldn't make a full-time living as an actress, Hilary became a casting director, eventually becoming the first theatrical agent for directors and designers in Australia, representing clients like Neil Armfield, Gillian Armstrong, Baz Luhrmann, Louis Nowra, and Wendy Harmer. Elisabeth went to Cambridge University, graduated in Economics, and became a civil servant and freelance journalist. Meeting up again much later in life, they discovered their mutual love of travel and embarked on the series of adventures that are the subjects of this book. Both continue to travel to exotic locations and indulge their love of interesting food, art, theater, and music.
