Year: 2022

Here, Donna J. Jodhan travels to London in July 2022 to graduate from the University of London with her law degree, hearing Princess Anne, the university’s chancellor, congratulate her as she crosses the stage at Friends House. Before the ceremony, she is reunited over lunch with a friend she had not seen in thirty-three years and with the nun she first met as a teenager in England fifty years earlier.

Here, Donna J. Jodhan sets off for Portugal with her good friend Sue at the end of May 2022, on her first big trip since Covid, with one purpose close to her heart: a pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima. She shares how she prepares as a blind traveller, from her travel insurance forms to the way she organizes her suitcase and her carry-on emergency kit, and she describes the Atlantic waves outside the Arribas Sintra Hotel.
