Backpacking into Darkness
_j.jpg)
In May 2017 Natalie was told
by her doctor that there was nothing else they could do to save her vision and what little sight remained would be lost within a year.
She was just 29.
Within days of the diagnosis Natalie and her wife Darcie left their jobs, packed up their lives and embarked on a backpacking trip to see the world, whilst she could still see.
This is the thrilling, utterly hilarious and almost unbelievable account of a year backpacking around some of the most unusual places on the planet. From Outer Mongolia to North Korea and everywhere in-between.
Two lesbians, one almost blind, the other transgender, on a shoestring budget - getting into some absolutely crazy situations.
This book is anything but sad...
Upcoming books:
I am currently working on the next volume where we face the most amazing and absurd experiences you could wish for/dread!
Follow our new adventures in India where we almost got kidnapped and killed by a psychotic Taliban-loving taxi driver in Kashmir, nearly die on a speedboat in Laos, nearly die in a jungle tree house in Laos and see the beauty and insanity of Vietnam and Myanmar where we nearly die.
We stay in Cambodia in a hotel with a missing wall and roof and then to Morocco which was so traumatising that I can't bring myself to start writing it!
Then I had minor surgery and ended up with necrosis, nearly losing my nose and becoming disfigured.
Natalie's eyes take a turn for the worse and then something unbelievable happens.
All in all, it'll make for one hell of a read.
So stay tuned or drop me a message and encourage me to get on and write it!
