Tales of a Female Nomad by Rita Golden Gelman - SF Travel Book Club June Meeting

Some people travel for a few weeks or even months at a time. Rita Golden Gelman wanted more. Tales of a Female Nomad is the astonishing story of how, at 48 years old, Rita broke free from her day-to-day life to hit the road...permanently. Long before Eat, Pray, Love became a word-of-mouth phenomenon, another gutsy woman wrote about circling the globe to re-discover the world and her place in it.

Join us in June to enjoy this amazing memoir!

A bit about this month's selection:

"Tales of a Female Nomad is the story of Rita Golden Gelman, an ordinary woman who is living an extraordinary existence. At the age of forty-eight, on the verge of a divorce, Rita left an elegant life in L.A. to follow her dream of connecting with people in cultures all over the world. In 1986 she sold her possessions and became a nomad, living in a Zapotec village in Mexico, sleeping with sea lions on the Galapagos Islands, and residing everywhere from thatched huts to regal palaces. She has observed orangutans in the rain forest of Borneo, visited trance healers and dens of black magic, and cooked with women on fires all over the world. Rita?s example encourages us all to dust off our dreams and rediscover the joy, the exuberance, and the hidden spirit that so many of us bury when we become adults."
