This book is both engaging and incredibly well written. You can actually feel, touch, taste, and see her experiences as she takes you on her amazing journey through Africa. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a great read. - Suzanne Boles, Writing Instructor and Coach, Award-Winning Feature and Content Writer Not all of us are brave enough to head out on our own, travelling halfway around the world to discover our roots. Katherine Krige's Roughing it in Africa lets us travel across foreign landscapes from the comforts of home. Part coming of age tale and part adventure story, this love letter to Africa will keep you turning pages. Equal parts excitement and introspection, this book takes us there and back again with a joyous enthusiasm and wry with. A truly enjoyable tale! - Corrie Haldane, Award-Winning Short Story Writer Katherine Krige's new book takes readers on a wild adventure through 10 countries in 358 pages! One might think that this book is just a travel memoir-but it is so much more than that. This true backpacking story, Roughing it in Africa, tells of a once-in-a-lifetime journey many could only dream of. Katherine's story is about family connection, being in love (and losing it), being swept off one's feet in quick and unexpected romances, and facing near death experiences. But other powerful topics are also addressed, such as white privilege, stereotypes, poverty, gender dynamics, bias and discrimination, and quite literally, the meaning of life. Roughing it in Africa will feel like 'a movie you can hold in your hands' and just the trip that readers have been waiting for! - Daisy-Mae Hamelinck, Founder of Your New Leaf, College Professor, and Author
