If you think traveling solo is a feat, how about traveling solo, across four continents, with a degenerative disease in your carry-on luggage? Here’s how a 53-year-old woman part-exchanged round-the-clock care for a round-the-world ticket.

Behind her, in New South Wales, a divorce and an empty nest. Ahead, a date with the northern lights, and the promise of more adventures. She’s made it this far entirely on her own—and she’s not about to let a silly little thing like Multiple Sclerosis spoil her fun now.
