The longing for an adventurous life - mother of six replace life in the suburbs with dangerous life in the world's hotspots. At the age of fifty-six, Anna Eckhoff replaced her secure life in a Danish suburb and a career as an IT project Manager with the demanding duties of war zones. Despite the many challenges that come with new beginnings so late in life, Anna Eckhoff was never in doubt - she belonged in the world's hotspots. Over the next fifteen years, Anna Eckhoff was on secondment ten times, including in Iraq, Sudan, Palestine, Afghanistan, Russia and Libya. Here she met a host of international employees and locals and led a life of both rewarding and exhausting relationships that sometimes made her feel like she was a participant on the TV show Survivor. Working under the auspices of NGOs, the EU and the UN enabled Anna Eckhoff to experience up close the vastly different interests that govern the course of the world. Only 15 years later does she return home after having worked in the world's hotspots with mine clearance, money transport, and AK-47 firearm training. A New Beginning: Life on the Frontlines is Anna Eckhoff's captivating story about life in Iraq, Sudan, Palestine, Afghanistan, Tunisia, Libya, and Russia. An inspiring book about living out your dreams - even late in life and despite those around you shaking their heads in disapproval - and a very insightful and vivid description of the many conflicts on the world's frontlines.
