Much more than a travel memoir, this is the story of a woman's rebirth.
For years Rita Golden Gelman felt she lived someone else's life. She and her husband led a privileged existence, but she wasn't happy. When Rita proposes a separation for a couple of weeks, she is at first horrified when he suggests a couple of months, "so they can be free to see other people". But she takes the opportunity to fulfill a long-held dream - to travel the world.
Fifteen years later, Rita is still travelling. From her first tentative trip to Mexico, swept off her feet by a Latin lover, to work as a tour guide in The Galapagos Islands, living in a royal palace in Bali, to New Zealand where she "adopts" a school full of children. Rita shares her adventures in her incredible journey of discovery.
