Publisher's Summary

Polly Letofsky left her Colorado home and headed west across four continents and over 14,000 miles - by foot - to become the first woman to walk around the world. In a spirit of adventure, along with the goal of raising global awareness for breast cancer, strangers welcomed her into their homes. The world had embraced her. But in the middle of Polly's journey, 9/11 flung us all into a crossroads in world history, and she found herself navigating a vastly changing world.

Fulfilling dreams

Anytime I hear a story about someone who made a huge plan or dream and then saw it through, I'm fascinated. The sheer will required to walk across the planet is unimaginable.

My only issue with Polly and her book is that she vehemently defends the stereotypes many of us have for Americas, by proving them. She does come across as a bit arrogant and ignorant of the rest of the world and the cultural differences, despite walking across the globe and she's definitely loud and a bit screechy and over-the-top.
