	A Journey of One's Own: Uncommon Advice for the Independent Woman Traveler Thalia Zepatos 2nd edition, Aug 1996 Eighth Mountain Press A Journey of One's Own was written for women who long to travel but are a little hesitant about facing the open road alone. Author Thalia Zepatos has traveled by camel across the Thar Desert, hitchhiked along the Malay Peninsula, and trekked the high country of Nepal, and in this book she offers advice, encouragement, and wisdom to the women she hopes will follow in her footsteps. Zepatos recognizes that female travelers face challenges that their male counterparts seldom experience: sexual harassment, safety and health concerns, and cultural attitudes are a real part of any woman's travel experience. She also believes that women experience travel differently from men, and she sees the "global sisterhood of women" as a positive, ready-made opportunity for women to interact with whatever culture in which they find themselves.

Zepatos also includes those hard-to-find programs designed for disabled women, women with children, lesbians, and older women. In addition to information about choosing a company and a trip, preparing, and organizing your own travel group, Zepatos peppers her book with entertaining essays by a constellation of female adventurers and writers.
