*PHOTO EDITION: Full-colour paperback, large size* As 1995 wound to a close, Katherine Krige prepared to leave home. Her father died when she was five years old, but she had always dreamed of learning more about him and where he came from. With university behind her, she aimed to find out. The trick was that his hometown was 13,000 kilometers away. After a few letters to long-lost kin, a plan was put in motion. She gathered a passport, planned some initial adventures, and gamely left her old life behind. As soon as she stepped off the plane in Cape Town though, those plans quickly began to fall apart. Over the next several months, she learned more about her father's homeland, and herself, as she trekked across Southern Africa. It wasn't always easy, but growth never is. Take a leap of faith and join Katherine as she explores her fears, sheds some tears, makes new friends, meets family, and experiences an incredible, life-changing journey that spanned 10 countries over 10 months. Grab a backpack...let's go!
Autorenporträt
Katherine Krige is a Freelance Writer and accomplished Social Media Manager. She is a graduate of York University with a BA in English, plus is completing several courses towards a Creative Writing Certificate in the Continuing Studies program at Western University. Having journalled from a young age, she put her writing skills to good use while travelling the world. Those journals proved integral for her bestselling travel memoir Roughing it in Africa. They also helped her process and heal after the loss of her husband and directly led to writing the grief memoir Riding the Waves. A widow in her early 30s, she raised two young children on her own and kept penning words for both herself and others. She currently lives in London, Ontario with her two almost-fully-grown children. You can find Katherine on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and at the local coffee shop when she has time to journal her way through another day.www.katherinekrige.com, krigek@katherinekrige.com
