New stories from Bhutan's most honest wanderer
Sacred trails, midnight dances, and a nomad's last goodbye to the mountains. The restless wandering continues, but this time the traveller has grown with her stories.
The Tourist Within picks up where the author's restless wandering left off, venturing into more riveting and tender stories. From the sacred trails across Bhutan to sixteen naked dancers at the stroke of midnight, from the pain of seeing a nomad friend leave the mountains behind to shooting alongside a Hollywood superstar, this volume carries the same characteristic honesty and raw style into new terrain.
What sets this volume apart is that the author has grown alongside her stories, no longer simply travelling and recounting but doing so with a deeper familial, cultural, national, and environmental sensibility. This is a tribute to a storyteller's dedication, and to the empathy and national conscience that now shape her voice.
