You are truly inspirational, and I especially admire your determination to achieve exactly what you set out to do. Although my goal has nothing to do with walking across the Sahara, your talk has given me the courage to challenge myself and pursue all my goals, however ambitious they may seem. Thank you!

Loved every bit of your book and my walk... I didnt have a goal like you had. The only goal was walking, which took the pressure away of finding a place at night. It was a delight to walk, meeting, letting go, and finding your path.. looking forward to your next book, Helena hi paula, found your book in a second hand bookshop, and was interested in the title, since I did the slow trip last year from Puy en Valey to the pays de Basque.

I am curious as to what star sign both you and your husband are. Something extremely strong I would imagine. I am reading your book at the moment, cant put it down.

One of our members came across it in a book shop somewhere and thought it looked like a good read and recommended it for the rest of us. I am in the last 50 pages, and am enjoying your journey immensly. I had read FFyona Campbells trip through Africa a few years ago and was interested to read that you mentioned her a few times in your book. She had photo's in hers which i would constantly flick back to, just to get the feel of where and what she was doing. Hence i have come online to find you and maybe see some photo's of you and your trip. (I am a very visual person). So it was good to find this site and have a read of your adventures since the first book. I have made so many comments and underlines in your book as I have gone along and have just spent the last hour researching the walk through Northern Spain - the pilgrims walk. I am inspired. Thanks. All the best with the last leg. Marianne and the 'Belrose Bookies' :-) I am sure our next book club meeting will have us all motivated to start walking the globe. Hi Paula,

Seeing the photos on here make it even more real - your book 2 should have a photo section in the middle like a celebrity biography! Thoroughly enjoyed the book, amazing experiences and stories.

I am busy writing the second one and when it gets me down it is great to read such supportive comments, they really inspire me to both get back on the walk (this september) and finish the book. Cheers guys, I really appreciate you writing to me.

I have found it so hard to find a book to get into. I spotted yours on a bookstore email review . Being a well travelled backpacker myself over 25 years ago but not yet managed to discover africa i had to find your book so i track it down . i just finished your first book was dissappointed it was over as i thought id be going further but i guess thats good for you cause now ill have to get the next one. i really admired and have reflected since reading your book on the power of your spirit to do what your heart and mind tell you also that sometimes that less is best. that is such a positive message so i guess your still teaching in another way enjoy your adventure and sharing it.thanks tracey Hi Paula im Tracey working mother of 2 thought id share that as i feel like i now you.

I hope you intended it to be gutsy and inspiring because that is truly what I got out of it. I have nothing but respect and admiration for you and what you are doing - I hope, too, one day, to also lead an extraordinary life and I am sure when the day comes for me to take the plunge I'll think of you and say "why not?" Thank you for a wonderful book - can't wait to read the next one! Clarisa Hi Paula,
