BRAVING THE WORLD

Running away on an extended late-life adventure is the dream of many, BRAVING THE WORLD by Pam Saylor details the ups and downs of trip planning, budgets, medical needs, and about a zillion other things that must be done by those who want to spend a year abroad. Unlike a typical travel guidebook written to entice people with beautiful photographs and expressive promotional content, Saylor presents an honest look at joys and challenges to traveling outside of the U.S. — even before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Readers planning their own “get away from it all” journeys may find much insight from the lessons in this unique travelogue.
