Winging It: A Memoir of My Journey to Asia Book One

In Winging It, Lia Russ recounts her experiences as a young woman traveling through Japan, Thailand, India, Nepal and the Philippines in the mid-1980s. Readers can share how Lia's experiences broadened her horizons (she had never been outside the United States). The act of leaving home, where she had not been successful in school due to her dyslexia, altered her view of what she could accomplish in life and, ultimately, who she was. Readers will become acquainted with Lia's story and with places that have changed greatly since her visit. Many of Lia's own photographs help the reader appreciate the places and events she encountered on her travels. This is Book One of a two-volume set, covering Lia's first visit to Japan as well as her time in India, Thailand and Nepal. Read more
