Jumping the Bull: Surviving Life, Love and Adventure in Ethiopia is a travel memoir with a twist. As a middle-aged woman, experienced world traveller and occasional travel-documentary host, Magee arrived in Ethiopia prepared for a belligerent cameraman, rampant poverty, menacing tribal cultures and campsites shared with crocodiles and baboons. A lovestruck guide determined to woo her was not on the itinerary. Not in any country, at any time. But, to her own amazement, she eventually succumbed and abandoned her Canadian home, job and securiy to experience life in Ethiopia. Establishing an intercultural relationship turned out to be the wildest adventure of all - definitely not the change of life that Mother had warned her about.
