Since publishing the original edition of A Woman's World in 1995,
Travelers' Tales has been the recognized national leader in women's
travel literature, and with the launch of the annual series The
Best Travel Writing in 2004, the obvious next step was an annual
collection of the best women's travel writing of the year. This
title is the eleventh in that series The Best Women's Travel
Writing presenting stimulating, inspiring, and uplifting adventures
from women who have traveled to the ends of the earth to discover
new places, peoples, and facets of themselves. The common threads
connecting these stories are a female perspective and fresh,
compelling storytelling to make the reader laugh, weep, wish she
were there, or be glad she wasn't. The points of view and
perspectives are global, and themes are as eclectic as in all of
our books, including stories that encompass spiritual growth,
hilarity and misadventure, high adventure, romance, solo journeys,
stories of service to humanity, family travel, and encounters with
exotic cuisine. The 31 true travel stories in this year's
collection are, as always, wildly diverse in theme and location.
They tell of places like California and Cuba, Switzerland and
Singapore, Iran and Iceland, Montana and Mexico and Mongolia and
Mali, our own back yards and some of the farthest, most extreme
corners of the world. They are the personal stories we can't help
but collect when we travel, stories of reaching out to embrace the
unfamiliar and creating cross-cultural connections while learning
more about ourselves. In The Best Women's Travel Writing, Volume
11, you will: go scuba diving with sharks in Palau cook for Syrian
refugees in Greece be the first American to play pro basketball in
the Czech Republic anger a nun in Ethiopia go whitewater rafting on
the Nile in Uganda help slaughter a pig in Hungary realize your
limits of filial piety in Singapore seek healing at the hands of a
witchdoctor in Mexico feast on rancid food in Iceland avoid
hypothermia by spooning in Mongolia fall in love in Nepal ... and
much, much more.
