Magnetically written by former CEO of a North Carolina Girl Scout Council and award winning CEO for the Western New York chapter of a national arts-in-education organization, this uniquely engaging travel journal describes four keys to unlocking personal and spiritual fulfillment: solitude, introspection, courage, and commitment. Through a series of compelling travel essays and deeply thoughtful memoirs, Janice Booth draws readers into each adventure—ranging from a solo hike through Northern California to galloping across the fields of Ireland to a short stint with the Circus Arts learning the flying trapeze—and shares her secrets to a fuller life through traveling alone. Step by step, she demonstrates why leaving everything—and everyone—behind for a few days (or more!) is the best path to inner strength, confidence, and true self-knowledge.

In 'Only Pack What You Can Carry', the unabashedly funny, brutally honest Booth - a self - proclaimed average working woman who doesn't have a trust fund to scoop from, or a second income, or even any particularly good survival skills - walks the reader through four key states of being/doing that have become the foundation for her life: solitude - engaging on a completely different level with ourselves and the world around us, without the distractions that come with relationships and obligations; introspection - committing uninterrupted stretches of time to just thinking. Introspection is a natural byproduct of solitude; and, challenge - taking on an intentional challenge provides an opportunity to practice and cultivate personal courage. It also includes: commitment - a commitment to solo travel means a commitment to oneself, and to living the way we want to live. By giving ourselves this precious time, we pledge to not settle for less of a life than we desire. And we learn great lessons about ourselves in the process.
