Billed as ‘around the world from Boardrooms to Backpacks’- ‘a businesswoman on a whirlwind tour of 43 Countries’
And it does as it states tbh, bringing together the authors stories from these very varied places……from Bangladesh to Hungary and Seychelles to Belgium, Kosovo to Vietnam in amongst many others whilst ( usually ) being a speaker at Conferences dealing with good practice in accountancy ( that is the simple version ) notably a visit to the World Bank is written about
The chapters are written as daily diary entries whilst in each Country and talk about the travel, people she meets, food she has, hotels stays ( and much mention of jet lag )and the work schedules and meetings, alongside this is various mishaps and adventures and sometimes just a great half day sight seeing wherever she finds herself
Within all this is the authors wish for more female representation in the industry she represents and specifically attendees at the Conferences she finds herself at, often being the only female amongst hundreds, also Climate Change affects as sees it are mentioned in a lot of places, cheap fashion and her reaolve not to buy as many clothes as she does is also written about amongst other political of the day concerns
An interesting, quick to read ( took me about 4 hours ) journal that described succinctly all areas of her travel and her schedule and gave good descriptions of her journeys
Enjoyable and avoided ‘look at me’ which can be the case with travel memoirs
