Su questo libro

Informazioni sull?autore

Barbara "Bobbe" Belmont grew up on suburban Long Island. After graduating from a Catholic college in 1968, she chose a different path for her life: “While my peers were raising families and securing successful careers, I spent decades of my life in a world of outdoor challenge and excitement; single, curious about the planet, and totally mobile. One year I lived in 17 different dwellings. I also lived in vans, campers, trucks, cars, tents, yurts, huts, caves, and the out-of-doors. Often, the sum total of my belongings could fit in a VW Bug, sometimes a backpack. Between adventures I worked an absurd variety of jobs—chamber maid, salesgirl, au pair, gardener, grape and apple picker, ski teacher, coach, translator, florist, massage therapist, real estate agent, sled-dog racing consultant, kennel hand, secretary, switchboard operator, legislative assistant. When not earning a meager wage so that I could travel third class around the planet, I engaged in extreme sports. I climbed rock, mountains, and ice. I raced sled dogs, kayaked rivers and oceans, cycled alpine passes, piloted a hang-glider, flew an airplane, surfed, scuba dove… I competed every chance I got. I lived in a world of men. Women were simply not yet on the scene. My greatest challenges came later in life and not out in the wide world. They are long-term Lyme Disease, Breast Cancer, and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury. Boy, did they try to crimp my style! While my stories are aimed at everyone, adventurers and adventurers-at-heart, I hope that they will also bring entertainment and inspiration to my fellow Lyme sufferers and those dancing with cancer and brain injury.”
