Tales of a Female Nomad - Rita Golden Gelman

Rita Golden Gelman is 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 L.A. to follow her dream of travelling the world, connecting with
people in cultures all over the globe.

In 1986 Rita 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.
