Keep Calm and Carry Vegemite

Embrace change and lose your sanity

When Allison Rushby's family, including two small children, decide to make their way halfway across the world to live in Cambridge for a year, many a mother tells her she is 'awfully brave' (read: crazy). Leaving behind a tried and tested, scheduled world of swimming lessons, lunchbox packing and her school gate tribe, she joins the many women before her who have penned a travel memoir.

And quickly finds out why they are all single and childless.

Over her year abroad, she struggles to embrace change and make the most of a new and different life, learning all she has to lose is thousands of dollars … and her sanity.
