Produktbeschreibung

Pushing the boundaries of Glen's conservative upbringing in Melbourne, Australia, she and another high school teacher hitchhiked through 54 countries. Meeting her future husband on a ship, when she headed home to Australia, they returned to Zimbabwe, married, and cotton farmed there. Foreseeing a difficult political future they immigrated to Australia, and pioneered cotton growing in the isolated Australian Outback. Years later they started a church and school in this remote area, and when that was established moved, with their four children, to Yonkers, New York, where they commenced a church, school, and daycare in an inner city area. At present they reside in California.

Autorenporträt

Glen Filmer, the youngest of three children, was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1943. Growing up she had a fascination for people and places that were different from her own. After working for three years as a high school teacher Glen left Australia determined to see the world; not the popular tourist destinations, but corners of the globe that were not well-known in a pre-internet world. Traveling with another Australian girl, she embarked on a hitchhiking journey to 54 countries in an era when female adventuring was not common. A kaleidoscope of her childhood and marriage to Duncan Filmer, whose love of challenges led them to raise their family, Jodee, Justin, Rhys and Campbell, across three continents. During their 50 years of marriage they have lived in Zimbabwe, Africa; the Outback of Australia; Yonkers, New York; and now reside in California.
