When I first heard of this I had thought woah how fantastic, wish I could have done this! But as I thought about it more, traveling the world for a whole year isn’t easy. Not everyone would be willing to give up a year in which they could be starting a career for instance, which most college graduates are looking to do, or, in her case, putting her training on hold, to go out into the world for a year. What a truly amazing thing to be able to do! They don’t get a whole lot of money though so it’s not about living it up in fancy hotels but it’s enough to buy some plane tickets and do some traveling and pursue their interests. As in they are not allowed to enter the US (or their home country if they’re not from the US) for a year. She gets hold of a yearlong fellowship (the Watson Fellowship) which gives its recipients money and then tells them to get lost. But that’s probably because the country I’m from is so tiny you can drive from one end to the other and still be in time for breakfast.īut Wade is a resourceful one. So this is a review from a non-runner’s point of view. Yes I don’t run but I sometimes read running-related things. (And there you go, with a horrified “what?” and go find a book blogger-runner whose review you’d rather read.)
