"For me, it was just like arriving in fairyland!..." - Jenny Scolding Steele on wanderlust and her amazing new book
When Jenny Scolding Steele was just 21 back in the 1960s, she walked out of her secretarial job and bought a one way ticket to Israel.
What followed was a globetrotting odyssey, with little more than a backpack and her wits to rely on.
Jenny travelled through India, sleeping anywhere from a temple to a brothel. She hitch-hiked through Iran, Sudan and the Sahara; witnessed riots in Nigeria and the famine in Ethiopia.
Now Jenny now lives in Cadgwith with her husband Bill, and has recorded her remarkable story in a new book 'Vagabond Girl'.
She has been discussing wanderlust with 蜜芽传媒 Radio Cornwall's Julie Skentelbery.
