That magic word travel Come... travel on a magic carpet across mountain tops from the Andes to the Himalayas. Swoop across Tanzania's Serengeti plain. Huddle with New Mexico shamans. Wind along ancient pilgrim paths in Spain. Surround yourself with turtles. Culled from their visits to over a hundred countries, the authors share seven journeys they deem the best of the best. Each dramatic story crosshatches themes of history, ritual, sublime panoramas, primitive spaces, high-wire adventure, and reflective ruminations of mind and heart. The narrative invites the reader to share festal meals, anxious moments, and zany episodes that bring laughter and wonder to this theater of travel. Roam uses travel as a medium to sample the gorgeous tapestry of life. Enjoy the journey
