From there, every journey becomes a lesson: escaping danger in Guatemala, supporting anti-drug missions in Ecuador where women were not welcomed in uniform, navigating altitude sickness, strange roads, border towns, scams, and cultural barriers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver twenty-five years, travel becomes her compass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe treks the Annapurna Circuit, marries her best friend in a hotel in Seoul, works across Europe, discovers purpose through medical missions, and checks off all fifty U.S. states on a solo road trip meant to reclaim joy. With each stamp in her passport, Tauni learns more about leadership, humanity, privilege, prejudice, and the surprising ways the world shapes an adventurous heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut not every journey is beautiful-some are infuriating, heartbreaking, or dangerous. In Saudi Arabia, confronting gender discrimination forces her to stand up to her own company to make real change. In Milan, an ordinary work trip becomes a desperate race against a virus no one yet understood. And in Poland and Slovakia, she learns what it means to stand beside a country at war-powerless but determined not to look away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRide the Camel \u003c\/em\u003eis more than a travel memoir. It is a testament to grit, wonder, and the transformational power of truly seeing the world. For readers who crave adventure, cultural insight, personal growth, and stories that remind us how breathtaking-and complicated-our world can be, Tauni's journeys offer both inspiration and a call to live boldly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 364\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 09, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43156673036351,"sku":"9798895030301","price":32.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/snrDiK_yEm9798895030301.webp?v=1776974232","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/ride-the-camel-exploring-the-path-less-traveled-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
