A debut memoir of author Metty Pellicer's mostly solo travels after her husband passed. She offers colorful and humorous stories of the travels that has taken her around the globe. Along the way, she encountered brothels in the ruins of Pompeii "with frescoes of all the ways you can copulate," the blue ice of Antarctica, a lion kill in Africa, and much more. She writes about her loss and aging, but mostly about the thrill and empowerment of travel.
