Tales of a Female Nomad is the story of Rita Golden Gelman, an ordinary woman who is living an extraordinary existence. At the age of forty-eight, on the verge of a divorce, Rita left an elegant life in Los Angeles to follow her dream of connecting with people in cultures all over the world. In 1986, she sold her possessions and became a nomad, living in a Zapotec village in Mexico, sleeping with sea lions on the Galapagos Islands, and residing everywhere from thatched huts to regal palaces. She has observed orangutans in the rain forest of Borneo, visited trance healers and dens of black magic, and cooked with women on fires all over the world. Rita's example encourages us all to dust off our dreams and rediscover the joy, the exuberance, and the hidden spirit that so many of us bury when we become adults.

      Leaving behind an affluent, conventional life in California, Gelman sets off to meet the world. She starts out with what was meant to be a relatively short visit to Mexico, and from there she travels to many countries as she explores cultures and makes friends around the world. She narrates her story in an almost offhand way as she relives the adventures and introduces the listener to some of the people who enriched her life. Her passion for these people is obvious in the fondness in her voice. While her voice is a little strained at times and the editing is a bit obvious in a number of spots, her enthusiasm is catching.
