What is The Blind Masseuse : A Traveler's Memoir From Costa Rica to Cambodia about?

**Named a Top 10 Travel Book of the Season by __Publishers Weekly__****and a __Huffington Post__ Best Book of the Year** Through personal journeys both interior and across the globe, Alden Jones investigates what motivates us to travel abroad in search of the unfamiliar. By way of explorations to Costa Rica, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Cuba, Burma, Cambodia, Egypt, and around the world on a ship, Jones chronicles her experience as a young American traveler while pondering her role as an outsider in the cultures she temporarily inhabits. Her wanderlust fuels a strong, high-adventure story and, much in the vein of classic travel literature, Jones's picaresque tale of personal evolution informs her own transitions, rites of passage, and understandings of her place as a citizen of the world. With sharp insight and stylish prose, Jones asks: Is there a __right__ or __wrong__ way to travel? __The Blind Masseuse__ concludes that there is, but that it's not always black and white.
