Summary:
What would you do if you were desperate to travel around the world,
but you had little or no money to finance your trip? You could stay
home feeling sorry for yourself, keep putting it off until you could
afford it, or just pack a bag and go, hoping to be able to live on
your wits and find work along the way. That's what Pat Bensky did in
her early twenties, and it led to a three-year adventure as she
worked her way around Europe, North Africa, the West Indies, Bahamas,
and the USA. At times she was hungry, homeless, sick, miserable,
ecstatic; was almost lost at sea, and cured of a serious illness by a
West Indian witch doctor. But her resourcefulness, courage, and
positive attitude steered her through the hard bits, and when she got
to California, she decided that she¹d found a place worth staying
in.
