October 2009 Book of the Month.
There can be few braver people than the author of this book, who decided one day to quit her job, sell her house and then fly alone to the other side of the world, to Australia with a rucksack as a companion. What the author discovered was a new person, someone who loved the adventure, the meeting of new people and the unexpected that went with being a free spirit and with no responsibilities except to herself. She jumped off waterfalls, swam in crystal clear lagoons, ran along deserted beaches and slept beneath the stars, befriended spiders, fed dolphins and got up close and personal with pythons. This personal journey changed Georgina’s life for ever and it just might change yours for the better as well once you’ve read it.

Georgina Carr’s next book will be released later this year and is called Inside Out... Always expect the unexpected. The sparkling lights of Barcelona beckoned, and in the hot humid air our excitement was at fever pitch as me and the girls tumbled out of the back street hotel in a cloud of glitter, sparkle and laughter. Away for a weekend of dancing, we approached the Latin club doorway where the intoxicating salsa beats streamed out, inviting us into a night full of possibilities.
What I didn’t know was that behind those doors lay the biggest adventure of a lifetime.
Falling totally and utterly for a man who lived in this city of passions, I packed up my entire life in England in a crazy pursuit of love, and followed the very heart of my being to Spain where the man of my dreams awaited. The adventure intensified as I did not leave England alone. Not only was I carrying my dreams, hopes and fears along with my worldly possessions, but now something much more precious…another human being.
As the gentle yet forceful hand of love guided my destiny through unforeseen circumstances, unanticipated events, and realms beyond my furthest imagination, I realised that with love, anything and everything is possible.
And that’s not the end of it either. Her third book, Back to front will continue her epic and crazy travel adventures and will be published in 2010.
