Roberta Beach Jacobson is an American humorist and author who ran away from home to explore Europe. That was 1974 and she never moved back. In visiting 17 European countries, she's shared bus seats with chickens and hotel beds with fleas. She's been spit on, cussed at, held at knife point, grabbed, pinched and kicked.

She makes her home on the remote Greek island of Karpathos. It's the sort of place animals outnumber people (although some of the animals weren't invited).
