    Over the Hill Goes Back to Nepal

  • Over the Hill and Far Away - One Grown-Up Gap Year

    by Jo Carroll ...
    There must be something between the retirement party and buying a zimmer frame. Jo Carroll decided this was the time to revive her teenage dreams and go round the world. So she packed her rucksack, a round-the-world ticket, and a notebook. Not prepared, then, for being marooned on a beach in Australia with the tide rising and nothing but cliffs behind her; nor negotiating with a gunman who wanted ... Read more
