Wow! I am dusting off my backpack as I write! Although not quite a baby-zoomer, I have been re-energized with aspirations of world travel! A longtime dream of Tibet and Nepal seems closer than ever, after reading the masterful, poignant and insightful words of Irene Butler! The Butler's show us that expanding our exposure to different worlds of culture and humanity can truly help us to live, learn, laugh, and love. The book has been a tremendous inspiration, not only to "get off the sofa", but has also helped in my purposeful transition from a modality of often feeling "tourist trapped" to one of "intrepid traveler"! Indeed, the wonderfully descriptive, emotion rich text will propel me to take the road much less traveled in all of our future forays into the world! Kudos to you, Global Trekkers!
