Exciting, interesting, inspiring. I loved this adventure travel book!

I love travel adventure stories and I truly enjoyed this tale of Karin's experiences to the exotic country of Vietnam where few women travel alone. I was inspired to take off again although I dont usually need much prodding!
A compelling Tale

Karin Writes incredibly well -- her thumbnail sketches of the people she meets along the way are priceless. She learns the language, takes her time and makes a lot of (local) friends. This is what travel writing really should be. A page-turner from start to finish. She is non-judgemental, gutsy and obviously genuinely interested in the country and its people.
Vivid and wonderful-what a journey!

I have had the good fortune to talk to the author and can attest to the fact she has a very bright future. Ms. Muller did what most of us only dream of and she did it very well indeed. It is a misnomer to call this a travel book- it is so much more. I am looking forward to the results of her next journey! If you cannot wait that long then check out her documentary of the same title. It too is first rate.
Made me want to drop everything and hop on a plane to Saigon

I've always wanted to do what Karin Muller did. So what a joy her book proved to be! It's inspiring, thoughtful, and is clearly the product of someone who travels with an open mind and an open heart. I wish I could follow in her footsteps!
