WALKING GONE WILD, How to lose your age on the trail, second edition, is a fact-filled book about how women can re-invigorate life as they age. Chapters guide women to outfit, train, and prepare to thrive walking the road ahead. Sprinkled with stories of real women who discover a new model of aging with vitality, grace, and a deep connection to life, the book provides the how-to of overcoming obstacles to developing a walking lifestyle.
Across three continents, through baking heat and Himalayan snowstorms, Dami Roelse tells us how she learned the meaning of personal love, impersonal love, marriage, motherhood, rejection and friendship.
She was “born a seeker and a wanderer” and her travels form the framework for her inner journey. This is a spiritual and psychological journey that has etched itself onto her spirit, from a comfortable, conventional European childhood to communes in the USA to the wild places of the Himalayas.
