Exotic Life Laughing Rivers Dancing Drums and Tangled Hearts Author:Lisa Alpine Winner of the Best Women's Adventure Memoir in the BAIPA 2011 Book Awards — "Lisa Alpine's book Exotic Life is a sprawling anthology of 19 travel tales. Alpine is an inspiration to women travelers everywhere. She fearlessly wanders through one obscure destination after the other, leaving her complete trust in the experience. She answers that tim... more »eless question - Can solo women travelers really go there? - by doing just that and carrying away some wildly unique stories.
Hers are the type of spontaneous and quirky tales that vagabonders dream of when they muse on the possibilities of the open road. In true vagabonding spirit, her tales portray a woman with a no-frills approach to travel and a heavy investment in experience. You'll find impassioned stories about far-flung destinations that can only come from an extended time on the road.
In addition to being a collection of travel stories, Exotic Life also explores the many trials and joys of Alpine's personal life. Readers will not just come away with a host of tales from around the world, but with a vivid sense of the type of woman Alpine is. Her personality leaps from the pages." - Colleen Wilde review in Rolf Potts' Vagabonding« less
