Meet The Author

In THE WANDERER, Carole J. Garrison fulfills her bucket list by meeting with the people she wants to see and the places that lead her to them. This is not a run-of-the-mill travelogue or fact finder. THE WANDERER explores the unexpected human connections that so often transfigure and transform the experience of travel, and celebrates the gift of kindness around the world from the perspective of a solo female traveler. In this volume, which features photographs, a nomadic Garrison keeps company with a gallery of fantastic characters during a cultural journey that captures the love and laughter of her globe trotting adventures. THE WANDERER is a heartfelt, brutally honest memoristic travelogue that will make you feel like you have been invited into the inner circle of love belonging to one very brave human being.

Here's What People Are Saying

“As an avid traveler, author, and editor, I set very high standards for the books I review. In short, this around-the-world journal is out of this world! THE WANDERER is not your typical travelogue. Rather, it’s an insightful, touching account of people and places written by an intrepid woman whose quirky approach to planning belies her superb attention to detail and understanding of culture. Don’t finalize your “bucket list” until you read this book.” ~Lynne Willard, editor and author

“Wanderlust captured and conveyed in such a delightfully contagious way, in THE WANDERER, Carole Garrison’s writing reads, and feels, like a vicarious vacation. Treat yourself!” ~Carl Root, Ph.D., Lecturer, School of Justice Studies, Eastern Kentucky University

“The Tao Te Ching says, ‘A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.’ I would say this describes Carole Garrison perfectly. THE WANDERER chronicles her journey around the world, seeking the joys of connecting with global friends made over a lifetime, experiencing some of the world’s most sacred, treasured and mystical sites, while at the same time, looking within to evaluate how she got there in the first place. It’s a journey of reflection, beauty, insight and renewed energy we can all benefit from.” ~Jana Kappeler, Kentucky acrylic/mixed media abstract artist
