Since leaving home for Europe alone at age seventeen, Karen Gershowitz has traveled to more than ninety countries.In pursuit of her passion for travel, she lost and gained friends and lovers and made a radical career change. She learned courage and risk taking and succeeded at things she didn’t think she could do: She climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. She visited remote areas of Indonesia on her own and became a translator, though only fluent in English. She conquered her fear of falling while on an elephant trek in Thailand. And she made friends across the globe, including a Japanese family who taught her to make sushi and a West Berliner who gave her an insider’s look at the city shortly after the wall came down.An example that will inspire armchair travelers to become explorers and embolden everyone to be more courageous, Travel Mania is a vivid story of how one woman found her strength, power, and passion.Travel is Karen’s addiction—and she doesn’t want treatment.
As an avid traveler, I thoroughly enjoyed Karen Gershowitz's book. The narrative captures the essence of her passionate journey across more than ninety countries, starting with a solo trip to Europe at the age of seventeen. Karen's writing style is captivating, creating a conversational atmosphere that makes readers feel like they are personally engaged in her stories. Her sense of humor adds an enjoyable touch, eliciting laughter with amusing thoughts. Beyond personal anecdotes, the book incorporates historical and cultural facts, enriching the storytelling experience. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned traveler, or even someone not particularly interested in travel, Karen's book offers a delightful and engaging read.
