DANCING WITH THE MACHINE

- By Jo Morgan

Resilient, fearless, fiercely determined… words to describe New Zealander, Jo Morgan. Mountainee­r, adventurer, avid motorcycli­st and constant traveller is what Jo does and this is her memoir. Overcoming a disastrous mountain climbing tragedy, Jo is fortunate to have survived.

“The youngest of eight children, Jo was raised largely by her Mum after her father died when she was only one, she’s always had an adventurou­s side. As soon as she could get her licence at 15, Jo bought her first motorbike. Jo, along with her husband Gareth and friends have driven a motorbike through more than 110 countries and visited nearly 140 countries in total…

Jo left a lot of her most adventurou­s endeavours until later in life but, here, in her memoir, she recounts her remarkable, often hair-raising and occasional­ly tragic story of her unconventi­onal life.”

This is certainly an engaging and inspiratio­nal story of a formidable woman and perfect timing for holidays.
