Opening My Cultural Lens: A Globe Trekker's Experiences and Photographs

Gail Shore grew up in Wisconsin during an era that provided few opportunities for girls. Then, in the late 1960s, with no vision or plan for her future, she took her first trip abroad, never dreaming how cultural travel would irreversibly change her life. Gail's self-funded solo trips would eventually take her through 5 decades and nearly 100 countries, including to destinations such as North Korea, Iran, the Amazon, and Timbuktu. Opening My Cultural Lens is the account of Gail's lifetime on the road―an illuminating exploration of the traditions, rituals, and cultures of some of the world's most remote populations. Through captivating stories and photographs, Gail gives readers vibrant views to the farthest reaches of the roads less traveled. By chronicling the many faces of our shared human experience, Opening My Cultural Lens takes a hammer to stereotypes and cultural barriers, revealing a world lusher and more precarious than we may know.
