Tea & Travels: Tales of a Nomadic Life - Paperback

by Kate R. Mathieson (Author)

In this light-hearted and humorous novella, Kate Mathieson traces her journey from suburban Sydney life to the rice paddies of Taiwan, a country with many social customs, most of which she seems to strangle. Living among rice paddies and posing as an English teacher, Kate encounters fruit that smells like old socks, a classroom of students who don't want to learn and a country that was never made for vegetarians. Bitten by the travel bug, Kate makes her way to London, to begin a backpacking adventure around Europe. Here she flirts with danger, with an Italian model, and with the idea of escaping her daily life forever. This is a memoir written especially for every nomadic misfit who thought they should pack up their life and travel across Asia and Europe. A perfect summer read. Best accompanied by a cup of tea.
