Dust in My Pack ― Ignite Your Adventurous Soul With Travelling Tales from Around Our World

Dust in My Pack is a new kind of travel book. The author, an independent traveller with a particular focus on remote, lesser-visited destinations, shares her most poignant experiences. Her stories have emerged over twenty years of living and working in five continents and travelling through more than sixty countries. Relive the essence of distant destinations through her story telling—sense the adventure, navigate random challenges and savour unexpected wonders. For those interested in travel, this book brings far-flung lands to life while providing practical guidance to help create your own personalized trip. Tales range from adrenalin-inducing exploits to awe-inspiring sites. Relive a chaotic ferry ride across Lake Malawi that stretched from twenty-four hours into sixty. Struggle with leeches and bees along mucky trails in Laos’ northern jungle during the rainy season. Encounter three enigmatic Mayan cities, and learn the stories that continue to seep through their timeless ruins. Nancy O’Hare brings these and many more tales to life. Topics are conveniently grouped across a wide range of travel themes, including boat trips, multi-day treks, day hikes, temples and forts, ancient cities, getaway adventures, serene scenes, animal encounters and unforgettable accommodations. Within each topic, stories are further grouped by country.

For twenty years Nancy O'Hare lived, worked and travelled around the world, often in unexpected places. She coupled her love of diverse cultures with a career in finance and has been based in Nigeria, Oman, Switzerland, Australia and Canada—plus completed a couple of short stints in Qatar and Ecuador. Working abroad only inspired more adventures. O’Hare and her husband embarked on multiple around-the-world trips for months at a time, exploring all seven continents. They gravitated towards hidden gems tucked away from the crowds with the intent to see the essence of a place. In 2017, O’Hare published her first book, Dust in My Pack, which captures the real stories behind her most memorable journeys and intriguing sites. Her book is available at most online bookstores.
