Lost Kidnapped Eaten Alive!: True Stories from a Curious Traveler Laurie Mcandish King

Laurie McAndish King?s adventures may have seemed like a good idea at the time: Tracking lions on foot, without a gun, in Botswana. Taste-testing the world?s most expensive coffee?which happens to be made from the excrement of a small Balinese mammal. Marrying a Maasai warrior in Kenya, searching the Irish countryside for an erotic goddess, and attempting to eat a horse in southern Italy. Whether she is lost in Melbourne, kidnapped in Tunisia, or eaten alive in Queensland, King?s travel adventures tend toward the quirky. And her retelling is poignant, thoughtful, occasionally unsettling, often funny, and always appealing.
