Seminar Description
Experience the majestic beauty of Mont Blanc in the French Alps, join an exquisite ancient tea ceremony in Japan, and come face-to-face with a Hindu goddess in a cave temple this summer in this seminar on women’s travel writing.

We will read many well-known authors, such as Mary Shelley, Edith Wharton, Isak Dinesen, Joan Didion, Maya Angelou, Isabel Allende, and many others and learn about their fascinating travel adventures.
