Description
In 2000, after her two children set off for new lives on the other side of the globe, Vivien Fallows embarked on a solo travel mission. Vivien kept a diary of her travels which have formed Travels with George, the Diary of a Mum on a Mission. Throughout the book, Vivien shares stories of her adventures; from visiting her backpacking son, Matt in Australia, spending 24 hours in Los Angeles and snorkelling in the Cook Islands, to adrenalin-pumping activities in New Zealand. Vivien’s husband encouraged her to keep a journal, and so she did. Fuelled by a diet of beer and muffins, funded by a piggy bank pension pot, completed with a trusty suitcase called George, Vivien hopes that her journey will inspire others to take the plunge and solo travel.
A Note From the Publisher2>
Author Vivien Fallows lives in Midhurst, West Sussex with her second husband. After a turbulent relationship with her first husband and father of her two children, Vivien and her children lived in a number of places. Firstly in Urban London before moving to rural Somerset. In 1976, Vivien moved to Ibadan in Nigeria for three years – followed by Qatar and Kuwait in the then under-developed Middle-East. Vivien then started to work for British Airways and her love of writing came to light when she was asked to write the Heathrow Airport staff newsletter. After a ten year career with British Airways, Vivien moved back to London where she re-married and started to work in the disability sector on a voluntary basis – raising money and awareness for disability causes. 28 years later, and with the London treadmill upon which Vivien had been happily running coming to a crashing halt when her two adult children revealed that they were moving abroad, Travels with George was formed.
