Book excerpt: The first time I travelled on my own was to a city of over a million people. It was a huge challenge, and I loved it. It was at this point that I set a rather unusual goal for myself. I vowed to visit as many countries as my current age. And so I started my travelling adventures, keeping a journal along the way. This is the result: 26 by 26. Among my travels over a six-year period, I would participate in a study-abroad program in Austria, attend a wedding in a castle in Switzerland, assist medical personnel in temporary clinics throughout rural Belize, and help feed ten thousand people in one day in rural Mexico. The travels of this young woman, described in fine detail, take the reader along on a journey of discovery. Whether discussing places, people or traveling from one place to another, Jennifer Holdway captures the moment-to-moment excitement as well as the ongoing decision-making that traveling requires. This book provides a most satisfying read, as we travel with Jennifer to explore the 26 countries she visited by the time she reached the age of 26. This travelogue shares a journal of growing independence and confidence in the tradition of engaging travel writing. —Martha Gabriel, PhD, Faculty of Education University of Prince Edward Island, CANADA Jennifer Holdway was able to visit 26 countries by the age of 26 on a modest budget and shares her adventures and travel smarts with you. Once you begin exploring with Jennifer, you will not want to put the book down. She might even give you the incentive to start journeys of your own. —Mike Sewell, Real Estate Broker
