A Trip of One's Own Hope, Heartbreak, and Why Traveling Solo Could Change Your Life by Kate Wills

 

This is a strange, but enjoyable combination of memoir, accounts of intrepid female travellers and advice for women travelling solo. Heartbroken after a divorce, Kate Wills decides to travel in the footsteps of other solo adventurers by herself and her first trip alone really is quite adventurous. She journeys to Israel and travels to Bethlehem at dusk, a dangerous time to cross the checkpoint apparently. She is following the path of Egeria, one of the first solo women travellers, probably a fourth century nun.

I liked reading about these brave solo women from past centuries, especially foolhardy Emily Hahn, better than Wills's stories about her own trips, although these were interesting. The chapters providing advice about such useful things as avoiding danger and packing are extremely useful. I would be interested in other books by Kate Wills.
