<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Dot Bekker was born and raised in Bulawayo in the south-west of Zimbabwe. After thirty-eight years away - the last twenty of those in Europe - she decided to return to the country of her birth; however instead of flying home like everyone else, she chose to drive on her own through West Africa.<br /><br />Now you can follow Dot's extraordinary 20,000km adventure in her first book, Going Home to Africa, where she describes the ups and downs she faced over the course of her grand expedition: the countries, the people, insane traffic, corrupt borders, marriage proposals, perilous potholes and good old Africa Roadside Assistance.<br /><br />Her fascinating journal also highlights the varied landscapes and cultural history of Africa that she discovered along the way, the strange, funny and sometimes terrifying situations that she encountered, and the numerous challenges that she and BlueBelle endured - all the while navigating her own personal internal journey.<br /><br />Since her return to Bulawayo, Dot has been tirelessly seeking ways to improve the future for rural communities in Zimbabwe. Her twenty years of business coaching experience is helping to enhance their traditional lifestyle with 21st Century technology in order to actively encourage sustainable development, while another of her passions is giving vulnerable and disadvantaged girls access to education, to which end she created the non-profit organisation, Kusasa. She very much believes that making progress in the gender equality/equity agenda through education is vital for her country.<br /><br />She is also already working on the sequel to Going Home to Africa, which will detail the experience of returning to her homeland and the many joys and challenges she has faced since her return.<br /><br /><b>WINNER</b> 2019/20: <i><b>Most Inspiring Guest</b></i> - Global Travel Channel
