A wise, passionate account of the pleasures of traveling solo In
our hectic, hyperconnected lives, many people are uncomfortable
with the prospect of solitude. Yet a little time to ourselves can
be an opportunity to slow down, savor, and try new things,
especially when traveling. Through on-the-ground reporting,
insights from social science, and recounting the experiences of
artists, writers, and innovators who cherished solitude, Stephanie
Rosenbloom considers how traveling alone deepens appreciation for
everyday beauty, bringing into sharp relief the sights, sounds, and
smells that one isn't necessarily attuned to in the presence of
company. Walking through four cities--Paris, Florence, Istanbul,
and New York--and four seasons, Alone Time gives us permission to
pause, to relish the sensual details of the world rather than
hurtling through museums and uploading photos to Instagram. In
chapters about dining out, visiting museums, and pursuing
knowledge, we begin to see how the moments we have to ourselves--on
the road or at home--can be used to enrich our lives. Rosenbloom's
engaging and elegant prose makes Alone Time as warmly intimate an
account as the details of a trip shared by a beloved friend--and
will have its many readers eager to set off on their own solo
adventures.
