A Trip of One`s Own: Hope, Heartbreak and Why Travelling Solo Could Change Your Life

Signed by the authorIf Joan Didion was right, and we do tell ourselves stories in order to live, then a travel story is the best story of them all. And I had form for escaping in stories…Kate Wills wasn`t expecting to be divorced after less than a year of marriage. She hadn`t anticipated restarting a life that had, for the last 12 years with her partner, seemed so stable. Luckily, her job as a travel journalist offered her the perfect opportunity to escape from it all. But this time, her jet-setting felt different. Kate felt more alone, particularly against a backdrop of never-ending hen dos, weddings and baby showers.So she began to search history for female travellers to inspire her. From a 4th-century nun to a globe-girdling cyclist, Kate discovers that throughout history, there have been astonishing women who`ve broken free from more burdensome expectations, clearing the path for us to do the same.`A Trip of One`s Own` is a funny and heartfelt invitation to take that trip: to Paris, to Whitstable, and maybe down that street you`ve always wondered about.
