| About the Book
I dreamt about going to Australia ever since I was a child. At
age 29, it was time to make my dream come true. I knew it meant
facing one of the most intense challenges of my life, one that had
kept me apart from my dream for many years. Nonetheless, with only
my wheelchair and a round-trip ticket from Los Angeles (no tours
scheduled, no rail tickets purchased and no plans per se) I set off
to test my endurance with determination and a sense of humor. My
first encounter with the “wrong way” drivers in Melbourne is only
the beginning of a journey filled with surprises at every turn. My
path takes me to Sydney, where I encounter the “turban king”. The
travels also include Adelaide, Alice Springs and finally Uluru where
I encounter a life-changing spiritual experience captured in a
glowing monolith. Throughout my unstoppable adventure, a willingness
to be open and flexible pay off in a growing realization of what
true inner peace and freedom means. This book offers the reader a
different view on travel that can only be told from the perspective
of a person in wheelchair.
