Local author Paula Rooney gave a truly inspirational talk on her solo travels around Europe after the age of 50. Waiting until the time felt right with her children following their own paths, Paula set off alone with her backpack and Interail ticket to explore Europe by train, on a budget. Journalling as she travelled, her daily observations, achievements and challenges were transformed upon her return into the above book. Paula also spoke about her subsequent travels, and encouraged everyone, whatever their age, to get out and explore the world.
