Going to be gifting this to younger cousins/ friend’s kids for future Eid gifts or birthdays 🥰 This was such a wholesome and fun book. Everything is utterly interlinked too, so as we change one thing, we inadvertently affect numerous other things. In autumn 2018, I ran solo and unsupported across the Bosnian Dinaric Alps, an assumed world first, and I continue to enjoy inspiring people through new adventures that combine my love for place, people and purpose.
Inhoudelijk interessant, maar de opbouw heeft me (ondanks de mooie lay-out en foto's) enorm gestoord.

It ranges widely in time and place, visiting sites from prehistory to the present day, including everything from modern-day churches to Bronze Age burial mounds.

This is more than a cute kitty caper with humorous airport antics: it’s a thought-provoking adventure about growing up and the need for individuality, independence, and autonomy.
