Away

The Diary of a Vagabond

On a dreary English autumn day, Nic makes another decision that will turn her life upside down. But this time, completely. A few months later, she sets off hitchhiking towards Byron Bay, Australia – traveling across Europe and Asia in the process.

What she experiences along the way will accompany her for the rest of her life: In Poland, she searches for her estranged father. On the route between St. Petersburg and Moscow, she saves a wheelchair user from a burning car before boarding the Trans-Siberian Railway as its only passenger. In Cambodia, she spends the night in the middle of the jungle, and in Malaysia, in a haunted house. Every day, she immerses herself in completely unknown situations, rides with strangers, and meets hosts. She exposes herself to absolute solitude and encounters strangers who have nothing yet give so much.

In "aWay," Nic tells her story of life on the road with poignant humor, about the great power of chance, and her late realization: To truly understand a journey, one must return to the place where it all began. The surprise hit is now available for the first time in paperback!.
