Beskrivelse af Born for Adventure: The World of the Sixties was My Stage
Gail Howard had a "life plan" to travel the world. Lured by photographs of exotic destinations, she had mapped an itinerary that spanned the globe by the age of ten. In 1957, she set out on an adventure that lasted throughout her twenties and early thirties-and eventually covered more than one hundred countries. Born for Adventure is a remarkable memoir, a journey to a bygone era when each country was truly unique. This was also a time of great change in the global arena, and Howard was a personal witness to many historic events. From outrunning bullets in the streets of San Salvador during the coup of 1961 to her one-woman tour of combat zones during the Vietnam War, her unique firsthand perspective offers rare insights into the history of the 1960s. This epic tale is one of personal growth, tragedy, triumph, entrepreneurship, romance and deep heartbreak. Her fascinating chronicle includes staying everywhere from first-class hotels to no-class hotels, eating food that ranged from exquisite to daring, and spending time with millionaires, artists, healers, princes, poets, and peasants. For fans of Eat, Pray, Love, this is truly a story for the ages. And it's all true.
