From LA to rural Scotland The odyssey of a bookworm.
From LA to rural Scotland The odyssey of a bookworm. Have you ever dreamt of quitting your cushy job and starting a new life halfway around the world to follow your passion? Jessica Fox, a Nasa employee in Los Angeles, decided one day to move to Scotland to live in a used bookshop. Wigtown couldn't offer vegan burritos and hipster clothing stores but has more than a dozen bookstores for its 800 residents by the sea. Jessica told BBC News her story of instincts, falling in love, and road bumps along the way. Video journalist: Franz Strasser
