Fresh out of university after graduating in political science and international relations in 2003, Alissa Everett took to the road, armed with a camera, headed to Iraq.

Unable to get a visa to the country, she flew to neighbouring Jordan, bought a car and in the company of a journalist, drove to the border that was manned by US troops.
