Biography: Born in Yugoslavia, Mina spent the first 40 years of her life there, working first as a teacher and later in the media. At this point in her career, exhausted and run down she was diagnosed with cancer and given two months to live. Mina decided against the traditional route of chemotherapy and checking herself out of the hospital embarked on a journey into Macrobiotics - a special diet but also a philosophy and way of life.

Uneasy Rider


Uneasy Rider by Mike Carter




Travel writing: To quote Charley Boorman 'a fantastic read' but also to add my own take on it - ruthlessly honest and hilarious. One drunken night Mike makes a rash decision to leave his life in London behind him to embark on a motorbike journey across Europe. The fact that he's never ridden a motorbike poses the first of many problems. 20,000 miles worth of anecdotes and 27 countries worth of self-deprecating wit and laugh out loud moments.
