Lydia Laube never says no to adventure, whether that means galloping a horse across the Mongolian plains or hopping on a cargo ship to Madagascar. Born into the farming community of Caltowie in the mid-north of South Australia, Lydia trained as a nurse in Adelaide, then set off to see the world. Her debut book, Behind the Veil: An Australian nurse in Saudi Arabia, was an instant bestseller, and she has become one of Australia's favourite travel writers.

'Laube is a human dynamo. Her writing has a chatty, witty, over-the-fence feel about it, and her books can be read in a few hours, such is their deceptive magnetism.' - West Australian
