Full Description

Includes stories by Roxane Gay, Susan Orlean, Ann Hood, and Pier Nirandara

The newest collection in this award-winning series from Travelers' Tales invites you to join twenty-seven inspiring and thoughtful writers as they traverse the planet, crisscrossing all seven continents and exploring the ways travel can illuminate, heal, inform, and transform a life. 

The essays probe themes as diverse as the locations, immersing us in experiences of kindness, adventure, nature, friendship, strength, marriage, motherhood, spirituality, the environment, belonging, healing, history, identity, romance, and resilience. 

This beautiful and far-ranging collection helps us celebrate an appreciation for other cultures while proving that travel can be a profound gateway to connection, self-awareness, and an expanded worldview. 

As Lavinia Spalding writes in her introduction, "In times of turmoil and despair, it becomes more vital to pay attention to how much there is live for, and travel for, and stand up for, and the stories in this volume shine light on this."  

In The Best Women's Travel Writing, Volume 13, you will:

Embrace contradictions on the late-night tango floors of Argentina
Splash toward a sexual awakening in the depths of a French swimming pool 
Hike the ups and downs of an active volcano and a marriage in Sicily
Learn to surf and face cultural stereotypes in Hawaii 
Experience a different relationship with grief during Day of the Dead in Mexico
Uncover the nuances of hair braiding in Nigeria and Morocco
Explore the joys and challenges of motherhood in Qatar's singing sand dunes
...and much more.
