Summary: Feelin' like a "Wuz"

Summary: Makes me dream of owning a sailboat!
Review: INCREDIBLE book...Makes one wish they had the time and money to sail around the world themself. Tania is a true modern day heroine; just reading about her journey on the VARUNA has inspired me and should most readers.

Review: Tania's unpretentious story is fun, inspirational, and nail-biting. It's nice to have an author open up the way Tania does about herself, her family, and relationships; strengths and fears.

Summary: Inspiring...emotionally and physically!
Review: I first read this book after receiving it as a gift for my 21st birthday in 1997, and I am in the middle of reading it again. Tania's adventure gives me the inspiration to travel and experience the world in its real form. When I read the book I get such an excited feeling within, and I feel as though I can do anything if I set mind to do it. Tania Aebi's book is a wonderful experience, and I'm very grateful that she wanted to share it with the rest of the world. Thank you, Tania!!!

Summary: The best adventure book ever.
Review: If you're an adventurer, an aspiring adventurer, or even an armchair adventurer, this book is for you! One of the best-written personal accounts of a personal journey that I've ever read. It's been at least 8 years since I first picked up the book and I haven't forgotten how it struck my soul. Caution: if you don't want to be tempted to sail around the world, don't read it!

Summary: Give this book to the teenage girl in your life
Review: An inspiring story of how a "complete ninny" overcomes her fears and insecurities and conquers the world, finds love and discovers her true self. I first read it years ago, and I've re-read it 3 or 4 times since.
