Great Great Aunt Flo's Travels (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781035822058)

From Broughty Ferry in Dundee, Scotland to Melbourne, Australia. After working as a governess in London, this adventurous woman travels to India. Full of tales from a woman who wanted to see the world, this book vividly depicts her life journey in the late 1800s to early 1900s.
Born into a successful Scottish family who earned their wealth manufacturing jute in the Dundee mills, she was afforded opportunities to explore. Her stories detail her travels: voyaging between Australia and India by ship and caring for children in the families she worked for along the way.
This memoir provides wonderful insights into how drastically life and travel have changed over the last century. Aunt Flo always kept her passport tucked into her undergarments, sure that if trouble struck, she would be safe. Tales like this give a glimpse into her mindset and spirit.
