Multiple times No.1 Bestseller in Solo Travel _________________ What Amazon readers are saying about Journeys Beyond and Within… ★★★★★ “It’s the kind of book that leaves you with a big smile and the feeling that maybe, just maybe, we should all be a little braver! ★★★★★ “you are right there with her, laughing and learning along the way” ★★★★★ “This was a truly special book. Not just because it tells the story of a woman defying social and cultural norms, but because of its pureness and honesty.” _________________ Journeys Beyond and Within… invites you to an armchair adventure: one that’d fly you through immersive experiences, deep human connections, and personal growth. This is a deeply personal travel memoir of a small-city girl who made her own path against all odds. At 29, Priyanka Gupta is heartbroken, jobless, and to her parents’ agony, unmarried. That she is a computer engineer from IIT Delhi, India’s best university, or earned in seven figures doesn’t matter. To begin afresh, Priyanka travels to Southeast Asia and South America. With nothing to lose, she goes solo, on a one-way ticket, her chest exploding with the question “Could I do it?” What follows is a year-long exhilarating, maddening, and transformative trip. Priyanka returns to India hungrier for adventure. She picks up pen and paper and quits corporate life to pursue a career of passion. She also has her bag packed and feet itching to move–all the while being told to behave like a girl. Humorous and introspective, vivid and embarrassingly honest, the book will entertain you and inspire you to travel, to rediscover home, and to leap over the boundaries. How far would you go? *A must-read for those interested in solo travel, backpacking, adventure books, biographies, autobiographies, travel humor, travel writing, travel essays, and true stories!*
