A Woman Alone (Book) by Faith Conlon, et al
The authors of this book are Faith Conlon, Ingrid Emerick and Christina Henry de Tessan. The very idea of a journey without companions is daunting for most travelers, not to mention women travelers. Not so the women in this collection of personal solo travel accounts. How about desert camel-riding while following an ancient Indian trading route; entering a deserted train station at 3:00 a.m. in a Thai village controlled by armed bandits; negotiating with Russian police to visit the blue-domed city of Samarkand? These women tell their funny, thrilling, occasionally terrifying, ultimately transformative stories of navigating some of the most unusual destinations on the globe. 312 pages.
