You’ll read about watching lost luggage, armed with an air tag, travel all over Edinburgh before finally trundling down the country road of the farmhouse where she was staying. Or, another bag that took two days to arrive in Cairo. You’ll read about tasting haggis and see Patti’s expressive reaction to other less palatable concoctions. And you’ll marvel at the how close up views of penguins in Antarctica and how high the snow-covered trails took them. In Egypt, you’ll learn about the secret language of Ancient Egyptian and why structures that are more than 5,000 old are still strong and colorful.
Patti’s world is a glorious and colorful place, full of opportunities. Come travel with her and immerse yourself in language, adventure, food, and music.
