Jan's dream was to take a 5-week road trip through the west. So she took a step beyond conventional thinking about older women traveling solo, beyond fear and other obstacles that threatened to interfere with her passion for new adventures. But, what better way to discover the wonder of the west, the world, and herself.
How I Won the West is 6,400 miles of iinvigorating new places, poignant memories, and helpful travel tips; a road map to planning a trip to the west, traveling on-the-cheap, and packing a car for carefree living; and the art of navigating youth hostels, and how networking can lead to meeting locals.
Winning the West is more than a journey through the West; it's also about a journey through life. And, wherever the journey takes us, whether across the street, across the country, or across the pages of a book, it's about grabbing hold of a dream and allowing our passion to lead us to new discoveries that will enrish our lives.
