When not enroute to some exotic locale they teach others how to enjoy travel. The Globetrotter’s Guide covers everything you need to know from planning your trip to returning home. The text follows an easy-to- read outline with lots of anecdotal material trom their journeys. Listening to Dolinko is a treat. She’s not selling you ona trip but sharing an experience. Asked where she'd like to go back to she responds with “1 enjoyed going up the Amazon. We had a disas- trous tour. I met up with ewo other travellers and we hired a boat- man who kept raving about his new engine. On the second day we ran out of fuel and on the third the engine blew. Late after- noon we'd pull up to the shoreline and cut through the brush with machetes. Completely horrendous journey. * You can tell she loved every minute of it. Dolinko bas been to Alfica four times and intends to return. For a six-day period in 1995 she was the only Western traveller in Timbuetu. At the time the temperature was hovering around 50 degrees Celsius. She also is keen to return to Nepal for more trekking through the Himalayas. Issues concerning women travellers are of particular interest to Dolinko with the basic message being “You can do this on your own.” She’s been there, done that and will show you how.
