Born and raised in Canada, Nancy was drawn to far-off destinations from a young age. She wove together a career in professional accounting and international business, living and working among such varied places as Australia, Oman, Switzerland and Nigeria.

Nancy's most recent book, a suspense novel dedicated to her dad, is a twisting tale set in Malta. Follow a handful of characters in their race to unravel a series of mysterious events that are somehow linked to the fragile state of world affairs in The Man in the Barretina Hat. Her earlier books are nonfiction and uncover off-the-beaten-track travel destinations including a trek in far-eastern Bhutan and castles steeped with lore and scattered across the Baltics in Searching for Unique and ...more

For an amazing culture, friendly people, unique and colourful architecture and excellent trekking - Bhutan.
For kind people, a serene atmosphere and breaking cultural stereotypes- Oman
For hiking - Tasmania with Patagonia as a strong second place contender
For beaches - Mozambique and Australia tied
For game parks - South Africa
For pristine nature - Antarctica

Is Dust in My Pack easy to read for a beginner?

Thanks for your question. I'll answer it from two perspectives.

Beginner reading level: The book would be fine for someone with grade seven and up reading level.

Beginner traveller: There is a mix of travel styles in the book, some of which will be perfect for a beginner and some which you might want to avoid. You can pick and choose what seems appealing to your comfort level. For example, a tour through Namibia and Botswana would be ideal for a first time visit to Africa. Other useful sections for a new traveller, depending on your interests, would to the forts of Oman, game parks in South Africa, Ephesus in Turkey or hiking in Patagonia or Grindelwald. However, I would not suggest a beginner traveller go to the temple of Prasat Preah Vihear in northern Cambodia as it is tricky to get to on your own. Also, it is not a good time to visit Sana'a, Yemen given the current military situation.

Hope that helps your decision
Nancy(less)
