I desperately wanted to love this book. It was just too slow for me. She tended to get lost in her thoughts and be repetitive too often. There were many interesting things she was experiencing that made me jealous of that freedom, traveling alone. I did enjoy learning about different cultures and loved the spirituality transformation she went through. Just wish I had a heads up of what parts I could skip through to move it along. Def. did not need the pages-long translations of her enjoying the languages. Lol. Still, I am torn....
