In this episode I am joined by Sally Jane Smith. Immigrant Australian Sally Jane Smith has lived on five continents and visited thirty-three countries, but she gives credit to Greece for turning her into a writer.  In 2006, a traumatic solo travel accident broke both her body and her spirit. A decade on, she journeyed to Greece in a quest to recover her wanderlust – and proved it is possible for an out-of-shape, middle-aged woman on a budget, equipped only with a guidebook and her mother’s 1978 travel diary, to experience a life-changing adventure. Unpacking for Greece – which  travels to Athens, Monemvasia, Sparta, Methana, Meteora, Santorini, and Rhodes – was selected as Greek News Agenda‘s ‘Reading Greece Book of the Month’ (July 2023). Sally’s second book, Repacking for Greece, will land on shelves mid-2024.
