'An Extraordinary Excursion is author Lynne Maher’s reflections of a year’s volunteer teaching in a boarding school in the far‑flung east of Bhutan. Working in a village at the end of a road with more packhorse traffic than motor vehicles might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but Bhutan, a country where Gross National Happiness and Buddhist principles underpin beliefs and routines, is capable of working its way into one’s psyche and establishing itself there. This is a very special country, capable of changing values and perceptions.'
