Pat Peterson has always been an adventurer. This memoir is more than a simple retelling of adventures around the world, nor is it a travel guide. Rather, in her own words, Pat wanted to "...share the remarkable diversity of planet Earth and the people I have met around the world whose stories, along with my own, are worth knowing". From falling off of Long's Peak after a blizzard, camping in the USSR, dancing on the Red Rock's stage, teaching in Haiti, surviving scuba in Fiji, climbing Fuji, discovering Korea, walking though Machu Picchu and Patagonia, hitchhiking 25,000 kilometers in France, boating in Provence and British Columbia, experiencing a rescue in the Grand Canyon, fishing in the Yukon, meeting Martin Luther King, Jr., digging dinosaurs, recounting the story of the Bishop of Okinawa, summiting Kilimanjaro, and more. This chronology of her life and adventures over the years reads more like a movie combination of Ann Bancroft, Amelia Earhart, and a female Indiana Jones than a memoir.
