For me, this is like reading about climbing Mt. Everest. I have climbed lesser peaks and so can identify with some of the story, but cannot imagine not having a place to come home to. Her themes of making friends where ever she goes and sharing cooking meals are wonderful. The book is wonderful encouragement to be more open and adventurous when traveling and maybe even at home!
