Judith Fein’s  book Life is a Trip: The Transformative Magic of Travel


Life is a Trip by Judith Fein

Who can ride a funeral boat in Mog Mog, alongside the deceased’s body, hang out in Mexican prison, apprentice with a shaman a la Don Juan, eat camel meat and leave for home from each adventure with a new life transforming experience?

Judith Fein in her new book Life is a Trip does just that and more. On the 14 exotic globetrotting adventures described in this book, Fein shows the reader how to use travel as a way to transform one’s life – how to be a traveler instead of a tourist.

In Life is a Trip Fein goes to Vietnam to get a massage, meets the High Priest of the ancient Israelite Samaritans on a holy mountain, visits a god in Guatemala, and has many more exciting and transformative adventures. She is definitely not your run-of-the-mill travel writer

This entertaining book will fascinate the seasoned, the novice and the armchair traveler.

“Life is a Trip. Judith Fein’s globetrotting adventures remind us that we travel to be changed, in big ways and small. This book is immensely readable, steeped in a spirit of connecting with place, with each other, and with our inner selves. Get a massage in Vietnam, travel the land of the witches, and meet the High Priest of the ancient Israelite Samaritans. You’re in the hands of a writer who has a keen eye and a singular voice.”
