And I had form for escaping in stories...  Kate Wills wasn't expecting to be divorced after less than a year of marriage. She hadn't anticipated restarting a life that had, for the last 12 years with her partner, seemed so stable. Luckily, her job as a travel journalist offered her the perfect opportunity to escape from it all. But this time, her jet-setting felt different. Kate felt more alone, particularly against a backdrop of never-ending hen dos, weddings and baby showers.  So she began to search history for female travellers to inspire her. From a 4th-century nun to a globe-girdling cyclist, Kate discovers that throughout history, there have been astonishing women who've broken free from more burdensome expectations, clearing the path for us to do the same.  A Trip of One's Own is a funny and heartfelt invitation to take that trip: to Paris, to Whitstable, and maybe down that street you've always wondered about.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45690590167259,"sku":"9781788704328","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9781788704328.jpg?v=1717587427","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781788704328-a-trip-of-ones-own-hope-heartbreak-and-why-travelling-solo-could-change-your-life","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
