A sun lizards view,
This review is from: A Lizard in the Sun: Three Years of Zero Budget Travels (Paperback)
This is great book for young people who are just starting out in life and have been told of all the dangers that lie in wait for them to put them off travelling the world and finding their feet. It is a light funny and optimistic look at life travelling the globe buy a person that has made a success of her life. This was against all the odds and with no money or parental help to do so. And shows you that there is good out there its not all bad just be careful and enjoy your life while you have it. The book reads well I just could not put it down and read it from cover to cover and loved every second of it.
