I feel as if I took the journey with Liz to not only the geographical places, but also on her spiritual journey as well. She describes every aspect of her journey with such beautiful detail you feel as if it is happening to you. Gilbert shares her search for pleasure, spirituality, and balance in a truly inspirational set of tales. She lays out an intimate and personal account of her journey toward growth and life fulfillment abroad. Another book I recommend is "Understanding Train of Thought".
