"This welcome (and timely) call to explore foreign borders, as well as our own comfort zones, is highly recommended." -Library Journal"I lived and breathed every place this book touched down and when I turned the last page my heart ached." -Robin MacArthur, author, Half Wild: Stories"This book has a lot to offer. Don't miss it." -- Amazon Customer Four seasons, ten countries, three teaching jobs, and countless buses...join McCahill on a woman's daring solo journey from Guatemala to Argentina.In her struggles with language, romance, culture, service, and homesickness, she personifies a growing culture of women for whom travel is not a path to love but to meaningful work, rare inspiration, and profound self-discovery. Following Paul Theroux's route from his 1979 travelogue, McCahill transports the reader from a classroom in a Quito barrio to a dingy room in an El Salvadorian brothel, and from the neighborhoods of Buenos Aires to the heights of the Peruvian Andes.A testament to courage, solitude, and the rewards of taking risks, Patagonian Road proves that discovery, clarity, and simplicity remain possible in the 21st century, and that travel holds an enduring capacity to transform."Kate McCahill is a blues traveler, singing for citizens of the world who have no public voice. She depicts beauty within despair, allowing us to hear a comforting melody in an unsettling breeze and see the gorgeous colors within a bruise. If a feeling of loneliness pervades her essays, so do feelings of wonder and pleasure. It's simply impossible not to share her joyful and frequently bewildering sensations of travel." --Sascha Feinstein, author, Black Pearls "With her Lonely Planet guide in one hand and Paul Theroux in the other, Kate McCahill backpacks from Guatemala to Buenos Aires losing love and finding a whirlwind assortment of ex-pats, aid workers, travel junkies, and locals. Patagonian Road is a millennial's adventure story, roughing it in the age of Skype and cell phones, through a Latin America still in recovery from decades of revolution, American meddling, and authoritarian misrule." --Douglas Glover, author and editor, Numéro CinqIf you love travel, self-discovery, Kristin Newman's What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding and Cheryl Strayed's Wild, then do not miss McCahill's memoir.
