Beautiful, empowering and exhilarating: She Explores is a spirited celebration of female bravery and courage, and an inspirational companion for any woman who wants to travel the world on her own terms. Combining breathtaking travel photography with compelling personal narratives, She Explores shares the stories of 40 diverse women on unforgettable journeys in nature: women who live out of vans, trucks, and vintage trailers, hiking the wild, cooking meals over campfires, and sleeping under the stars. Women biking through the countryside, embarking on an unknown road trip, or backpacking through the outdoors with their young children in tow.

• Complementing the narratives are practical tips and advice for women planning their own trips, including preparing for a solo hike, must-haves for a road-trip kitchen, planning ahead for unknown territory, and telling your own story.
• A visually stunning and emotionally satisfying collection for any woman craving new landscapes and adventure.
• Gale Straub is the founder of She-Explores.com, a media platform for curious, creative women who love travel and outdoor adventure.

For any woman who has ever been called outdoorsy... or who wants to be.

Beautiful, empowering, and exhilarating, She Explores will inspire even the most outdoor-averse woman to connect with the landscape, take a leap of faith and find her community.

• Makes a wonderful birthday, graduation, or new going away gift for an adventurous woman.
• Great coffee table book to spark conversation about travel and exploration.

Highlights include a musical duo who play sunrise summit concerts (past audiences: Mount Pilchuck in Washington and the Monte Cristo Range in Utah); Sarah Attar, one of Saudi Arabia's first female Olympic athletes, who runs the backcountry trails of the Eastern Sierra; and Marine Malvar de Jesus, who swapped a career as a lawyer for the life of a mountain nomad." -- Conde Nast Traveller (UK)
