Judith Fein’s globetrotting adventures remind us that we travel to be changed, in big ways and small. This book is immensely readable, steeped in a spirit of connecting with place, with each other, and with our inner selves. Get a massage in Vietnam, travel the land of the witches, and meet a joyous rabbi. You’re in the hands of a writer who has a keen eye and a singular voice. Keith Bellows, Editor-in-Chief, National Geographic Traveler I don’t travel unless I have to. I don’t know Micronesia from a microwave. In fact, I find it annoying just to walk from one end of my tiny bungalow to the other, yet when I read Judith Fein’s incredible new book, Life Is A Trip: The Transformative Magic of Travel, I found myself eagerly tagging along on one adventure after another. Ms. Fein doesn’t simply move from place to place, she is moved by every place she goes, and she has the artistic and literary skill to move the reader along with her. This is an excellent book by a very talented writer.
