Basia Meder published this book in association with her photographic exhibition at the Australian National Capital Artists Gallery, Canberra, Australia, June 1997.

All those travel stories are from Basia's a solo one-year long journey around the world.

"I had finished my wonderful solo adventure trip around the world, where I stopped in twenty-two countries, visited my family and old friends, and made many new ones. Seeing other cultures, traditions and history I was fascinated by the values of societies that are different from my own, created by my polish background and residence in Australia."
