Jen is far too good at maths for her own good. Working for the VLA allows her to exercise this talent as well work in the same place as her great passion in life, Cows. As a result this makes India a perfect place to go for a trip and what better way to see India than being held up on bumpy roads by the cows she loves so much.
I have a feeling she won't like them so much at then end of this adventure!
