  Ready for a life-altering adventure? This gripping memoir will take you on a thrilling ride through the heart of Ethiopia, where the author pushes his physical and mental limits. This incredibly-written work contains a myriad of adventures, from dangerous to inspirational, entertaining to informative, and fast-paced to serene. 
  Balarezo's vivid storytelling transports you to the rugged landscapes of Ethiopia, from bustling Addis Ababa to remote villages and the Danakil Depression--deemed 'hell on earth' since it has the world's highest average temperature. He's assaulted daily by stone-hurling children, crashes a wedding party, scales a cliff with Ethiopian Orthodox monks, and witnesses the miracles of Ethiopian spirituality alongside murderers, cancer patients, and the mentally ill. 
  Brimming with wit and humor, filled with introspection and insight and, above all, infused with a deep love for this African nation, Unhinged in Ethiopia celebrates the power of stepping outside your comfort zone. Encounters with warm and welcoming Ethiopians, their rich traditions, and the country's complex history will inspire you to plan your own life-changing adventure. 
  Perfect for fans of travelogues, memoirs, and stories of personal growth, this book is a must-read for anyone yearning to break free from monotony and embark on a journey of self-discovery. Balarezo's honest and thought-provoking writing will stay with you long after you listen to the final chapter, motivating you to embrace the unknown and unlock your full potential.

  Together We Can - 33 Marathons...

  Together We Can is the inspiring story of an amazing feat. On 1st of December 2024, at the age of 58, Peter Baines set off in the extreme heat and humidity from the north of Thailand to run 1400km over 26 days, averaging 60kms per day. Peter's goal was to raise $1 million. Peter Baines had been a leading forensic investigator with the NSW Police before he was deployed to Bali in 2002 after the bombings, and then to Thailand after the Boxing Day tsunami. It was during the aftermath of the tsunami that Peter started the Hands Across the Water charity. The biggest impact upon Peter during his work in Thailand was meeting a group of Thai children orphaned by the tsunami. Returning to Australia, Baines made a commitment to support these 32 children who were living in the tent in the grounds of a Buddhist temple. The initial objective of the Hands Across the Water was to build a home for these children, and it was this first home that marked the finishing line of the Run to Remember, exactly 20 years to the day of the tsunami. Together We Can is not a story of one man s 20-year commitment to children and communities in need. Nor is it simply a story of physical achievement the likes of which many simply cannot comprehend. It is the celebration of what can be achieved together. It is the celebration of the best of humanity, through what were often the most difficult times.One of the main learnings from this incredible feat of endurance (running the equivalent of 33 marathons in 26 days) was that although Peter was the only person who completed the run, it took a team to get him across the finishing line. The lessons are invaluable for businesses, organisations and sports teams and it is these lessons that remain with Peter (and hopefully the reader) long after the blisters have healed.

  On Nami’s thirtieth birthday, she’s reminded at every turn that her life isn’t what she’d planned. She’s always excelled at everything—until now. Her fiancé blew up their engagement. Her pride and joy, the tech company she helped to found, is about to lose funding. And her sister, Sora, is getting married to the man of her dreams, Jack—and instead of being happy for her, as Nami knows she ought to be, she’s fighting off jealousy. 
   
  Frustrated with her life, she makes a wish on a birthday candle to find her soulmate. Instead the universe delivers her hate mate, Nami’s old nemesis, Jae Lee, the most popular kid from her high school, who also narrowly beat her out for valedictorian. More than a decade later, Jae is still as effortlessly cool, charming, and stylish as ever, and, to make matters worse, he’s planning a hostile takeover of her start-up. Cue sharp elbows and even sharper banter as the two go head-to-head to see who’ll win this time. But when their rivalry ignites a different kind of passion, Nami starts to realize it’s not just her company that’s in danger of being taken over, but her heart as well.
