Through her eyes, her experiences, and her delicious words, you will discover: majestic Nepal before the rest of the world did. the colors of India and rivers of love that flow through it. Goa and the most beautiful beach in the world. how the Middle East evoked questions: What am I doing? Where am I going? Who am I? Wandering ...a long way past the past is a remarkable travel memoir; an exceptional account of courage, love, overcoming adversity, and forgiveness. It is a book of experiences, opening a window with a palette of words that enhance mouth-dropping scenic beauty, fearless friendships, and OMG happenings.
