Book Description

September 9, 2005
Young Female, Traveling Alone tells the story of a successful western female in her late twenties, who is on the verge of serious depression and leaves her comfort zone behind, embarking on a backpacking journey throughout Southeast Asia and India.

On her journey, Anna discovers herself in different towns, beaches and mountains. She experiments with spirituality, drugs and rave parties. Following the loss of a close friend and the failure of a romantic relationship, in the underground rave scene of Goa, Anna roams around aloof, from one Indian town to another. Ultimately, she discovers that conversations with the locals bring insight to the search for her own identity in the world.

In the end, she learns that life is a long hard lesson, but a great gift worth living, despite the bumps along the way.

About the Author

I am a computer engineer, living in Montreal, Canada. In November 2001, I took an assignment to work in Sweden, where I lived as an expatriate until July 2003. I then left my job in Sweden to embark on a seven-month backpacking journey through Asia/Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia and India. During this time, I became accustomed to the “traveler mentality” and learned to survive on the road.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Journey That Cuts Through the Romanticism, October 24, 2006
This review is from: Young Female, Traveling Alone (Paperback)
I read this book with an interested candor. I have never done any traveling to exotic places, but this was a trip that I would have taken had I gone. In this book, Anna learns a valuable lesson, and it is written with the directness of someone who wants to share a lot of wisdom with the reader. I got this same impression after reading Hermann Hesse's "Sidhartha" for the first time. The prose is plain, deep and direct. It cuts through all the romantic crap you read from drug-crazed Westerners and gets to the heart of a lesson that I learned about human nature and the quest for peace. Om, shanti, shanti, Ms. Pop!

5.0 out of 5 stars A highly amusing and quite engaging tale well told by author Anne-Marie M. Pop, March 10, 2006
This review is from: Young Female, Traveling Alone (Paperback)
Young Female, Traveling Alone is a highly amusing and quite engaging tale well told by author Anne-Marie M. Pop. The reader will dive into the life and explorations of lead character Anna as she discovers herself throughout the varying appeals and locations. As Anne-Marie Pop has experienced the situations she authors Anna to have, readers will find Young Female, Traveling Alone not only grand entertainment, but insightful and intriguing as well. Very strongly recommended -- especially readers of nature-oriented fiction particularly in eastern Asia.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting view, December 31, 2005
This review is from: Young Female, Traveling Alone (Paperback)
The book is easy to read, also for non English.
It gives an interesting view on how a woman can experience Asia and especially India.
It hold my attention right from the start and I couldnt stop reading till the end.
I think its a need to read for everybody who wants to travel to Asia and especially to India.
I think the writer LOVES and HATES India at the same time.
But no matter love or hate prevailes, India has changed her view on life forever.
