Tales of a Female Nomad

Sandy's Book #2: Tales of a Female Nomad by Rita Golden Gelman

When she found her marriage dissolving after something like 30 years, Rita Golden Gelman began a 15-year-journey during which she lived (for months or even years at a time) in Mexico, Guatemala, Indonesia, and New Zealand, and traveled to Nicaragua, Israel and Thailand to boot. This old bird is absolutely fearless, and her story is truly inspirational. You mean this fat white lady in her 60s can hike through Indonesian Borneo? She can hitchhike across Mexico (in the 80s)? She can drive a beater car along a craggy cliff, on the left side of the road? OK, so she does a lot of things I would never in a million years try, but it works out for her and she comes away with great stories. I highly recommend this book to whet your appetite for travel and adventure.
