Tales of a Female Nomad

'It's exciting to be exploring a world I know nothing about ... Then it hits me for the first time ... I do not need anyone's permission to do what I want to do. I am free to make my own decisions, follow my whims, take whatever risks I choose.'

There's more than one way to do life ...
For years Rita Golden Gelman felt she was living someone else's life. She lived a privileged existence, attending glamorous parties and dining with celebrities. But non of it made her happy. Something was missing.
When her marriage falters, Rita decides to seize the opportunity to live her dream - take off and see the world on her own, and on her own terms. Fifteen years later, she is still travelling.
This is the story of her incredible journey of discovery, from her first tentative trip to Mexico where she is swept off her feet by a Latin lover, to the Galapagos Islands where she becomes a tour guide, living in a royal palace in Balik, a fishing trip in churning seas in Thailand, to New Zealand where she 'adopts' a school full of children and onwards to Israel, Bornco, the United States and destinations unknown.
Without a plan and on a shoestring budget, Rita shares the joysof her transformation from an unfulfilled suburbanite to an adventurous female nomad. Much more than a travel memoir, TALES OF A FEMALE NOMAD is for anyone who has ever dreamt of escaping the everyday.
