A reader lives a thousand lives before they die. What is more marvelous, more wholesome, more exquisite, than exploring all the worlds and universes that humanity can ever conceive?

Having a separate chapter or session for the flash backs is indeed a wise suggestions as readers would find it difficult to read them between sentences.

I believe this book has a lot to offer beyond the travel experience being talked about in this review and I would add this book to my shelf to get a taste of this book.

Tina has made lots of memories and adventures with her family on the tour to South Africa. Their trip also gave them the opportunity to learn other languages, making them bilinguals, and we all know that is the language that unites a nation.
