This title is the eleventh in that series--\u003ci\u003eThe Best Women's Travel Writing\u003c\/i\u003e--presenting stimulating, inspiring, and uplifting adventures from women who have traveled to the ends of the earth to discover new places, peoples, and facets of themselves. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe common threads connecting these stories are a female perspective and fresh, compelling storytelling to make the reader laugh, weep, wish she were there, or be glad she wasn't. The points of view and perspectives are global, and themes are as eclectic as in all of our books, including stories that encompass spiritual growth, hilarity and misadventure, high adventure, romance, solo journeys, stories of service to humanity, family travel, and encounters with exotic cuisine. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 31 true travel stories in this year's collection are, as always, wildly diverse in theme and location. They tell of places like California and Cuba, Switzerland and Singapore, Iran and Iceland, Montana and Mexico and Mongolia and Mali, our own back yards and some of the farthest, most extreme corners of the world. They are the personal stories we can't help but collect when we travel, stories of reaching out to embrace the unfamiliar and creating cross-cultural connections while learning more about ourselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In The Best Women's Travel Writing, Volume 11, you will: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ego scuba diving with sharks in Palau\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecook for Syrian refugees in Greece\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ebe the first American to play pro basketball in the Czech Republic\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eanger a nun in Ethiopia\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ego whitewater rafting on the Nile in Uganda\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ehelp slaughter a pig in Hungary\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003erealize your limits of filial piety in Singapore\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eseek healing at the hands of a witchdoctor in Mexico \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efeast on rancid food in Iceland\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eavoid hypothermia by spooning in Mongolia\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efall in love in Nepal\u003c\/li\u003e ... and much, much more. \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLavinia Spalding\u003c\/b\u003e has edited four previous volumes of \u003ci\u003eThe Best Women's Travel Writing\u003c\/i\u003e.
