What could possibly drive a latte-loving city girl to throw out all her new shoes and move into the passenger seat of a beat-up Mazda with dodgy air conditioning? This laughter-filled memoir proves that love is the best reason to do anything. When fate decided to connect an inner-city journalist with an unlikely comedian at a wacky astrology night, a few hours was all it took to fall in love. What followed is a love story like no other, set against the backdrop of the uncompromising Australian landscape. From supping with bikers in the desert to filing fashion columns from skimpy-clad pubs in gold mining areas, this memoir is an exploration of the balance between passion and security, love and freedom, and what it really takes to live your dreams. This adventure is for anyone who has ever wondered what happens when you turn your back on city life and hit the road with a laptop full of hope and a hair straightener in the glove compartment.
