Chasing Bohemia: A Year Of Living Recklessly In Rio De Janeiro

On the brink of her thirties, Carmen Michael, an Australian travel agent jaded by nearly a decade of serving up package holidays to unimaginative travellers, went to Rio de Janeiro for a week's holiday - and ended up living there. Chasing Bohemia is a story about living recklessly and the surprising little truths about yourself you can discover through being immersed in poverty, isolation, and a culture that is not your own.
