Some people are meant to travel the globe, to unwrap its secrets and share them with the world. And some people have no sense of direction, are terrified of pigeons, and get motion sickness from tying their shoes. These people are meant to stay home and eat nachos. Geraldine DeRuiter is the latter. But she won't let that stop her. Hilarious, irreverent, and heartfelt, All Over the Place chronicles the years Geraldine spent traveling the world after getting laid off from a job she loved. Those years taught her a great number of things, though the ability to read a map was not one of them. She has only a vague idea of where Russia is, but she now understands her Russian father better than ever before. She learned that what she thought was her mother's functional insanity was actually an equally incurable condition called "being Italian." She learned what it's like to travel the world with someone you already know and love -- how that person can help you make sense of things and make far-off places feel like home. She learned about unemployment and brain tumors, lost luggage and lost opportunities, and just getting lost in countless terminals and cabs and hotel lobbies across the globe. And she learned that sometimes you can find yourself exactly where you need to be -- even if you aren't quite sure where you are.

Download and read online ebook All Over the Place write by Frances Bowler. This book was released on 2014-04-22. All Over the Place available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In 1951, three young women from Quilpie in south west Queensland ventured off to see the world in their own ‘little green Ford’. They rode camels at the great pyramids, picnicked among the monoliths of Stonehenge, attended the Royal Ascot races, joined a grouse shooting expedition in Wales and negotiated the traffic in France. Frances tells her fascinating and light hearted story of an eight month trip to post war to Europe via Singapore with stop overs in India, Egypt and Rome, and home across America. This is international travel in another era. Apart from this initial fling overseas, Frances spent the first 50 years of her life in western Queensland where the closest neighbour was 30 km away and 1100 km from the capital city, Brisbane. Raising, and actually teaching eight children before they all went off to boarding school in Grade 6, was taken in her stride.

Download and read online ebook All Over the Place... write by Laura Keating. This book was released on 2005-11. All Over the Place... available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. As her mind decays, an old woman revisits her childhood, the trauma of her trek out of Rangoon, Burma and the challenges of life in an Australian migrant camp following the War. Death is elusive and in her search for release, Yolande's mind, like her life, hurtles 'all over the place'. Linked by the bond between mothers, daughters and sisters in a range of poignant contexts, the narrative is subtly feminist and also surfaces sub-themes of multicultural and transcultural significance. The strength of nurturing relationships is exposed in this kaleidoscope of fragments-all that remain of a rich life eroded and distorted by dementia. Daughters who find themselves dealing with the emotional burden of caring for their mothers and their own daughters will find inspiration in the pathos and compassion generated among the characters. Catapulted from the comfortable life of colonial Rangoon into the hardship of hunger fear, rejection and poverty, Yolande demonstrates the tenacity of unfailing love. The narrative has appeal for all who believe in the beauty, strength and vulnerability of women.
