Female protagonist is having a hard time - finds herself by traveling /hiking/ reinventing etc.

[Anabell]

I am looking for female protagonists that is having a hard time and decides to go traveling/hiking/backpacking or something else that ends up in her finding out what she wants with life or learning about herself.

Genre doesn't matter as long as it has the element of finding herself or reinventing. It can be romance, paranormal, fantasy or even just a regular contemporary book. I am open to pretty much anything though not interested in biographies by politicians or celebrities...

Doesn't matter if it is fiction or non-fiction.

If anyone has a book that immediately springs to mind with a male protagonist with this theme and think this would be perfect I am open to those suggestions as well if it is considered a must read...

Thanks :-)
