This work was penned in the northern summer and autumn of 2006 and is a travel diary, including pertinent reflections on Greek culture, which the author generally embraced for about six months before returning to her native New Zealand.  The author is not always enamoured by Greece, but tries to stay positive, even towards the end of her time there teaching English in a small town in Thessaly.  There are many differences between Greece and New Zealand, as can be seen in this book, but the book is just as much an invitation to the reader to embrace their own Wanderlust as it is to critique a culture which she only knew on the surface.
