Tales of a Female Nomad: Living at Large in the World

Tales of a Female Nomad: Living at Large in the World

The true story of an ordinary woman living an extraordinary existence all over the world.

â€œGelman doesnâ€™t just observe the cultures she visits, she participates in them, becoming emotionally involved in the peopleâ€™s lives. This is an amazing travelogue.â€Â â€”Booklist

At the age of forty-eight, on the verge of a divorce, Rita Golden Gelman left an elegant life in L.A. to follow her dream of travelling the world, connecting with people in cultures all over the globe.

In 1986, Rita sold her possessions and became a nomad, living in a Zapotec village in Mexico, sleeping with sea lions on the Galapagos Islands, and residing everywhere from thatched huts to regal palaces. She has observed orangutans in the rain forest of Borneo, visited trance healers and dens of black magic, and cooked with women on fires all over the world. Ritaâ€™s example encourages us all to dust off our dreams and rediscover the joy, the exuberance, and the hidden spirit that so many of us bury when we become adults.
