More Info

Jennifer Louise Augustine was raised on a ranch/farm near a small town in the Pacific Northwest. As a child, she fantasized about traveling and living in places she read about in encyclopedias. Armed with an education and a spirit of adventure, she accepted jobs in lands she knew of only in books. She lived and worked outside of the United States for 12 years.It was only ill health that forced her to return to the USA. She taught university-level classes in health information management until she retired in 2012 at which time she decided to write of her adventures overseas.Jennifer now volunteers for church and community activities. She enjoys reading, singing, gardening, writing, and dreaming. She has been able to travel, though not as extensively, since her return to the US. She now lives in a small urban community in the Pacific Northwest.Off to Faraway Places initially focuses on Jennifer Augustine's early years and then moves on to give a candid account of her experiences while living and working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Australia. She traveled extensively to many Middle Eastern and Asian countries and includes stories about some of them in Off to Faraway Places.She took her camera almost everywhere, capturing life as she saw it, and shares many of those photos which bring her words to live. Especially captivating is the section of underwater photography.Expats around the world, and those thinking of working outside the safe shores of their own country, will find Off to Faraway Places a thought-provoking study of working and traveling abroad... definitely not something for the faint-hearted.
