With a lifetime of exploration spanning 65 countries and residency in 17 of them across every continent, Elyssa invites readers to experience the wonders of cultural connection and boundless discovery. This instalment sets the stage for future chapters that will journey to new regions, revealing the joys and challenges of a life lived without borders.
