One of Australia's best-loved public figures tells the very personal story of her great love for travelling. Best known as a "national treasure", Margaret Whitlam also happens to be a tour leader extraordinaire and has visited almost every corner of the globe, taking with her hundreds of travellers on group study tours. This is Margaret's story of people and places she encountered in her "other world" - travelling the Wine Road of Burgundy; walking through the ancient city of Macchu Picchu; sharing a meal with a friendly family in their Moscow home; going to the opera in Vienna, and a nightclub in Istanbul. Brimming with anecdotes and observations, the book also offers the odd travel tip (a great place to eat in Dijon, an experience to avoid on Lake Titicaca). Margaret's tours were so popular that some people travelled with her year after year. Readers will meet Betty for whom the world is magnifique, Charles the "Bairn from Nairn", Father Jim who is not always reverent, lovely Mariana crossed-in-love...and many more. Margaret's gentle humour and infectious enthusiasm for faraway places make for a lighthearted way to journey around the world - all from the comfort of your favourite armchair. Join her as she travels across Siberia, along the Danube and on to Olympia, Rio and Chiang Mai.
