When travel was invented

A love letter to the world is how Charlotte Peter describes her work "When Travel Was Invented." For 75 years, the grande dame of travel, now 93 years old, has circled the globe. She is living proof that women, at a time when solo travel for ladies was not yet in vogue, could experience incredibly fast-paced and joyful adventures. Her curiosity about the foreign and the different was sparked by her studies in history. She explored Tibet and China, tested the Orient Express, discovered rare island beauties, and took readers to Cuba, Brazil, and many other countries. It’s no surprise that she has added a modern twist to an Arabic saying: "Love everything that carries you away - camels, horses, ships, trains, cars, and airplanes." A book about 75 years of travel for curious globetrotters with courage and a thirst for adventure.
