Author Visit - Heather Hapeta

Heather Hapeta, author of Naked in Budapest : travels with a passionate nomad spoke to an appreciative audience in Hastings Library on Tuesday 25 September.

After the deaths of her husband and son, she ran away from home at fifty and travelled around the world with a backpack, a youth hostel card, a sleeping bag, a year's work of savings and no plans. From Alaska to Zimbabwe, from cooking in Athens to an island monsoon - it's no wonder she reinvented herself as a travel writer.
