The restlessness of travel

Rochelle Jackson - Saturday, November 26, 2011

Hola,

I've been back in Australia now for several weeks and trying to 'get my head' back into our culture again. After being in Peru for a month, life back here in Melbourne seems bland and too easy. I love the challenge that only travel can provide and the exploring you have to do. I love the fact that I've been immersed in a culture that I don't know about and I have to learn quickly!

I've left my heart in Peru and it's difficult to be here at the moment. My home doesn't feel like home any more; I'm restless. There is a different state you enter after you've been travelling, it's like you have expanded your world - certainly how you view the world - and then you're back in your little routine again and nothing has changed. You also realise there are so many places in the huge, exotic, fascinating world that you can live!

My third book has dragged my head back into Melbourne life again. I've returned to find my front cover design, the marked-up proofs and the legal report about Partners and Crime (Allen and Unwin). My new book will be published 1 March, 2012. Now, that IS exciting!

Watch this space for any further developments on Partners and Crime.

Oh my, I know what you mean!!! Fourth week back at work and still having trouble getting into the swing of things. Find myself thinking about the next wild adventure - funny how home/work never encroached on my thoughts while wandering around Peru!!! Very
exciting news about the book though, something to keep your feet planted on the earth in this country for a little while at least :-)

Hola Tracy, Good to hear from you, my amigo! You're doing well trying to keep your focus after four weeks....I'm still struggling after the wonderful adventures I had in Peru. Finishing my third book has really helped me get my head back into Melbourne
though. Start planning your next adventure - this is the only solution, I reckon! I've also been working on a crime story in Peru... take care, saludes:-)
