Backpacking Into Darkness

More about the book

In May 2017 Natalie was told by her doctor that there was nothing else they could do to save her vision and what little sight remained would be lost within a year, leaving her blind. She was just 29. Within days of the diagnosis, Natalie and her wife Darcie left their jobs, packed up their lives and embarked on a backpacking adventure to see as much of the the word, whilst she could still see. This is the thrilling, hilarious and almost unbelievable account of a year backpacking around some of the most unusual places on the planet. From Outer Mongolia to North Korea and everywhere in-between. Two lesbians, one almost blind, the other transgender, on a shoestring budget - getting into some utterly crazy situations. This book is anything but sad, it’s a comedy.
