About the Book

In the midst of two successful and promising careers Lynne Atkins and Liz Clark took the final step in bringing their travel dreams to fruition. It followed years of hoping and dreaming, dreaming of faraway places and exotic destinations. Within each of them was a longing for not only adventure but for understanding. Understanding of the nature of humankind and the expansion of civilization, of spiritual mysteries and their individual place in the world. After a surge in the Real Estate market they bravely sold their home. It felt like they had just won the lottery and they were determined to treat it as such! Excitedly both Lynne and Liz quit their jobs, sold their cars and household belongings and with a spring in their steps purchased two "Round the World" tickets! It would be a grand undertaking that would last one year, which they spent two days planning. They purchased backpacks which were promptly filled with clothes and supplies to see them through diverse weather conditions and a multitude of situations. With all momentum (and no responsibility) these daring forty-somethings set off on a trip of a lifetime! Where were they going? How would they get around? This all became part of the comedy and the adventure. With nothing but a rough outline of flights and a fleetingly glanced at guidebook the rest they would have to make up as they went along. Join them on their adventurous journey traveling through approximately fifty countries and all seven continents. Lose yourself in a commentary filled with historical and hysterical information. Experience the panic as they are nearly kidnapped in Bolivia. Feel the exhilaration and exhaustion of climbing Machu Picchu. Ride along on an impressive Christmas Antarctic voyage. Experience the wonders of nature in the Galapagos and Ballestas Islands. Step through history into the ancient cultures of Rome and Egypt. Sense the trepidation of walking with lions on Safari in Zimbabwe. Discover the mysteries of the Hill Tribes of the Golden Triangle. But wait.... there's more.... much, much more for the armchair travel/adventure reader. With Liz journaling their daily antics and Lynne's guidance, photos and sarcasm you will soon become part of the adventure. An excerpt from one professional critique stated... "I described this guide to someone who immediately said it sounded like 'Eat, Pray, Love', which was also one of my first thoughts. I think this manuscript is much more fun to read, though." Another stated... "Global Wanderings & Inane Wonderings" recounts the inspiring journey of two adventuresome travelers; creating worldwide appeal due to the varied locations, unique destinations, and diverse cultural interactions. GWIW is a very exciting and humorous book with mass appeal. **GWIW is a zesty journey filled with a continual quest for unique encounters, as the two main characters, chase not only spiritual enlightenment but their dream of seeing as much of the world as possible in one year. This is not a leisurely walk but a roller coaster ride of excitement.**
About the Author: Armed with a degree in Behavioral Sciences, American, Liz Clark, spent ten years working with kids in a locked psychiatric ward which gave her an interestingly twisted perspective on things. She warped her views even further by working eight years in the Juvenile Detention Center in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. Currently, she works as a Service Coordinator for young children with disabilities. With a youthful enthusiasm and chronically positive outlook, her personality is made apparent in her writing style. Not one to shy away from public speaking or a good chat, her storytelling skills outrage and delight both verbally and in script. Trusty sidekick/butt of most jokes: Australian, Lynne Atkins, an artistic Sign writer by trade, has been a business owner, teacher, manager and a personal assistant. Lynne brings to the mix the organizational ability and finely tuned talents of a taskmaster. With her skills as an accomplished map-reader, an internal GPS system (which, she credits to a past life as the Captain on the historic Pinta), and her eye for photography she was able to navigate their way around the world while capturing it in the lens. Having met in the year 2000 Liz and Lynne have since traveled to over 65 countries and all 7 continents. Between these two, a plethora of adventure, banter, and general shenanigans are never far behind.
