____________________ From her first life-changing solo trip to Australia as a young graduate, Rosita Boland was enthralled by travel. In the last thirty years she has visited some of the most remote parts of the globe carrying little more than a battered rucksack and a diary. Documenting nine journeys from nine different moments in her life, Elsewhere reveals how exploring the world – and those we meet along the way – can dramatically shape the course of a person’s life. From death-defying bus journeys through Pakistan to witnessing the majestic icescapes of Antarctica to putting herself back together in Bali, Rosita experiences moments of profound joy and endures deep personal loss. In a series of jaw-dropping, illuminating and sometimes heart-breaking essays, Elsewhere is a book that celebrates the life well-travelled in all its messy and wondrous glory. 'Beautifully authentic writing, full of humanity and gumption' Irish Independent ____________________

Thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful book. Not only was I transported "elsewhere" to Rosita's journeys and stories through her powerful words, I was also transported to my own elsewhere. To places I have been, people I have shared magical moments with and also the elsewhere of the future, of where I hope to go, what I hope to see, who I hope to meet, the different tastes and smells which encompass a town, a street, a house.
