Hiking the World
Wow! What an inspirational book and without exaggerating, I found myself a few times saying "Just one more page before I go...". I really enjoyed it - totally love Monique's straight from the heart way of telling her story.

In her stories Monique tells about the places she visits, the people she meets and the lessons she learns along the way. Whether it is a well-traced trail, a guided trek or a solo wilderness trek, every hike is a journey in itself; offering both the joy of exploring new grounds and journeying inward. In addition to the stories Monique provides hiking tips and information about equipment.
