Travel to Casablanca and Marrakesh, Tuscany and Venice, Bocas del Toro and Panama City, and Santiago, Chile and back to P.C. Zick's home in the United States. Odyssey to Myself takes the reader on trips to Morocco, Italy, Panama, Chile, and down Route 66 in the United States. The compilation of essays provides travel guides to the places the author visited and follows the internal odyssey as she discovers her place in the world. P.C. Zick writes about her experiences traveling outside the confines of her small world in Florida. Observations about life and culture bring to life the ancient alleyways of Fes, the master artists of Italy, the bustling Panama Canal, and the resilience of the Chilean culture. From P.C. Zick's Odyssey to Myself: "Traveling removes us from our small safe environment and thrusts out into the world. When I travel, I realize what a tiny ripple my life is in the ocean's constant waves. A few months ago, I had to endure a full body MRI that lasted more than two hours. I almost swooned when the nurse told me how long I'd be in that long encompassing tunnel. She recommended I remain awake because if I moved after falling asleep, they'd have to pull me out and begin again. I did not want that to happen. My brain fought against any touch of claustrophobia as they closed me in the tube and sent me inside the machine. I frantically searched through the files in my brain. With a little prayer for help, I went into the tube and decided to travel in my memories back to the most important trips of my life. The first trip I remembered was my visit to Morocco in 2004. I knew it was a watershed year as many things had been happening in my life, and I went on the trip to heal and find direction. I began with my arrival in Casablanca in the early morning hours after flying all night from New York City. It came back so vividly I could even smell and feel the air of my travels during a magical two weeks. Then I started on Italy in 2005, where my daughter and I traveled for a month to celebrate her graduation from college." The two-hour MRI passed by in a blur of memories and inspired her to write about the travels that brought her world into sharp focus. As the author faced a decade-long swirl of tragedies, she discovered traveling outside of her home country and her safe personal zones had brought her new insights, and eventually, a new love. Travel removed her from her narrow world into a kaleidoscope of colors, smells, noises, and textures. This book explores some of those experiences as she embarked on an odyssey to find herself during one of the darkest decades of her life. Buy Odyssey to Myself and be inspired from the stories of one woman's quest to find meaning in a troubled world.

Isabella L. Bird was one of the most famous British travelers of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Her destinations included Canada, the United States (the Rocky Mountains), Hawaii, Japan, Korea, Persia, Kurdistan, China, and Morocco. She is particularly known for her intrepidness and lively writing style. Written in the form of letters to her sister, her account of her trip to Japan in 1878 is viewed as a classic of travel writing and a valuable account of little documented areas of Japan in that era. Rather than stay in the Tokyo region or travel south to Kyoto, the mecca of Japanese civilization, she chose to travel north through the most arduously mountainous areas and eventually visit the island of Hokkaido, where lived the indigenous Ainu. With the Ainu, Isabella took an ambiguous stance: she admired them tremendously on the one hand but could not, on the other, find it in her heart to remove them from the category of savages. The Foreword, "Reading between the Lines," calls into question the accuracy of Isabella's observations of the Japanese and Ainu and casts doubt on the judgments she formed. Readers are urged to read the book actively, rather than passively, if they are not to be led astray by Isabella's biases and eccentricities.

This book is a travel story, a journey through British history, a two-week odyssey by road and foot, beginning in Edinburgh and finishing in Gloucester, 13 days later. The journey includes walking Hadrian's Wall, visiting a series of significant historical sites in Northern England and Wales, and hiking in remote parts of Wales. The book is a narrative journey, accompanied by photographs that explore two millennia of British history. It begins with the Roman occupation of the island, the original British Kingdoms that emerged from the departure of Rome 400 years later, and their eventual demise at the hands of the Angles and Saxons. It explores the events that led to the birth of England, and the emergence of the Welsh and then British nations. It travels through historic sites including Iron Age hillforts, Roman forts, neolithic standing stones, significant battlefields, and historic churches. It tells stories of the history of each of these places, and the epic poems of the people who built them, lived in them and fought over them. Much of Britain's remaining history resides in its churches, abbeys and cathedrals, and for that reason, this book focuses on the history, architecture and stories that can be found in these ancient buildings. The author hopes that this story will inspire others to make journeys through the history of their nations.
