Some people are designed to travel the world, to unwrap its secrets and share them with the world. And many people have no sense of route, are terrified of pigeons, and get action sickness from tying their shoes. These folks are designed to stay home and eat nachos. Geraldine DeRuiter is the latter. But she won't let that stop her. Hilarious, irreverent, and heartfelt, All above the Place chronicles the years Geraldine put in traveling the world after getting let go from employment she liked. Those years trained her a lot of things, though the ability to learn a map had not been one of these. She has only a vague idea of where Russia is, but she now knows her Russian dad better than in the past. She found that what she thought was her mother's useful insanity was actually an evenly incurable condition called "being Italian". She learned what it's prefer to travel the world with someone you know and love - how see your face can help you make sense of things and make far-off places feel just like home. She learned all about unemployment and brain tumors, lost luggage and lost opportunities, and simply getting lost in many terminals and cabs and hotel lobbies throughout the world. And she found that sometimes you can find yourself exactly where you should be - even though you aren't quite sure where you are.
