After 11 years of running a glossy travel magazine with all its attendant overseas travel perks and other corporate benefits, Jill Malcolm decided a dramatic change of lifestlye was in order. She and her partner divested themselves of their jobs, fostered out the family pets, rented out their house and bought themselves a caravan and hit the road with the intention of discovering the various corners of their own country for a change. "At Home on the Road" is the story of their experiences, and it's a story that should resonate with New Zealanders up and down the country, especially those who have so often wished they could take a similar journey, thus escaping the routine of everyday life. However, as Jill herself discovered, there were some personal boundaries to be extended too, and her account of these makes this often humorous but always honest narrative more than just another travel story.
