Tales of a Female Nomad: Living at Large in the World Review: Still a favorite after 15 years. - Read this book ! You will learn something and you will laugh and maybe cry. Oh to be a nomad! Review: Adventures to fill a lifetime - My book club chose the book for discussion at our February meeting. I was reluctant to read it because I found the title off-putting. I considered skipping the meeting. I am glad that I decided to read the book and participate in the discussion. I was among the majority that liked the book. There were a few that were highly critical of the style and the stories. The experience made me realize that I have a tendency to become deeply involved in the story and oblivious to style and critical reflection. The author tells stories showing courage, compassion, selfishness, and luck. She certainly is not a stereotypical Jewish mother. Although both children had finished college and were starting careers, they still needed her. But she was mostly unavailable searching for fulfillment in remote areas of the world. From her comments about the Reagan administration's support of the Nicaraguan contras, the Indonesian control of Papua, and the American health care system it is obvious she is politically liberal. I do not take issue with that, but it caused surprise when she hardly mentioned Palestinian issues during her tale about living in Israel. She was the beneficiary of so many fortuitous events. Chance meetings led to contacts and experiences almost beyond belief. I think this is particularly true about her introduction to Tu Aji and her subsequent life in Bali. Most of the discussion group agreed that the Bali tale was the most interesting. I felt she discovered more about herself during that time. She took a lot of chances and ignored potential danger. I doubt that others would enjoy positive outcomes repeatedly. I was envious and vicariously enjoyed her adventures. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #317,398 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #756 in Travelogues & Travel Essays #1,185 in Traveler & Explorer Biographies #3,552 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,893 Reviews | ## Images ![Tales of a Female Nomad: Living at Large in the World - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XpMQUNkSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still a favorite after 15 years. *by A***A on February 25, 2026* Read this book !

Inspiring too! *by R***D on June 30, 2008* I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Not only is the author's unique path in life inspiring, but the experiences described are a much more intimate look at people from other cultures than what you typically find. Gelman forms relationships with the people she meets - mainly because she lives among them and isn't traveling as a tourist. Even if you don't end this book wanting to buy a backpack and a one-way ticket to anywhere, this book will remind you that people are the same everywhere, just the clothes, customs, and food are different. I had to edit my review after reading some of the surprising comments about Gelman's ego/arrogance, America-centric viewpoint, etc. The jaundiced tone of these reviews doesn't gel with my impression of the book - or of the author. I was fortunate to meet Rita recently and found her very down-to-earth. A group of us had a delightful lunch, talking, asking, listening. As for the criticism that the book is very America-centric in its assumptions about the rest of the world, I don't see it. Gelman is very respectful of other cultures, exactly what most Americans abroad are not. And my favorite section of the book was Bali...the section of the book that seems to have received the most negative comments. I was completely drawn in to the story of those years. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tales of a Female Nomad: Living at Large in the World - A Trip of One's Own: Hope, Heartbreak, and Why Traveling Solo Could Change Your Life - Without Reservations: The Travels of an Independent Woman --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/246469-tales-of-a-female-nomad-living-at-large-in-world](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/246469-tales-of-a-female-nomad-living-at-large-in-world) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
