Backpacking to Freedom: Solo at Sixty

This is the story of Maggie Counihan, an Australian grandmother, who at age sixty went out and bought a backpack and a ticket to India. The idea had been simmering away for many years, but life's circumstances had always got in the way.

"Definitely scary, being there all by myself. But finally the magic of India swung in, and I was hooked.'' 

It was a life-changing even that was to lead to ten years of solo travel and amazing adventures.

'More than a travel book. It's one of self-discovery and growth.
Maggie is a blithe spirit.' Jen J. Auckland NZ
