Elsewhere: One Woman, One Rucksack, One Lifetime of Travel
____________________
From her first life-changing solo trip to Australia as a young graduate, Rosita Boland was enthralled by travel. In the last thirty years she has visited some of the most remote parts of the globe carrying little more than a battered rucksack and a diary.
Documenting nine journeys from nine different moments in her life, Elsewhere reveals how exploring the world – and those we meet along the way – can dramatically shape the course of a person’s life. From death-defying bus journeys through Pakistan to witnessing the majestic icescapes of Antarctica to putting herself back together in Bali, Rosita experiences moments of profound joy and endures deep personal loss.
In a series of jaw-dropping, illuminating and sometimes heart-breaking essays, Elsewhere is a book that celebrates the life well-travelled in all its messy and wondrous glory.

This book made me feel so utterly mesmerised and hopeful and at the same time filled me with a sort of despair.
I felt like I was in the author's shoes precisely. A young woman from Ireland who barely enjoyed her college years doing english and history decides to set off into the world without a plan. First it was Australia. Then it was Pakistan. Then Japan. Then Peru. Antarctica even. She travelled and travelled with the same rucksack that was thoroughly worn out by the time of her later travels.
In her descriptions of the Amazonian rainforest and the cerulean glaciers of the South Pole, I realised innately what she soon put into words: that there is so much of the world to see and so much of this world that we will never get the chance to see. I marvelled at the vastly different ways of life in every place she described. From the fairytale-esque story of the girl in Iceland who had a whole waterfall in her backyard to her guide in Peru who had grown up in the jungle and offered her Brazillian nuts fresh from its pod.
This book, though classified as a travel memoir, is also a memoir of the author's life in bits and pieces too. Through the author's experiences, she manages to encapsulate the fears and hopes that pass throughout one's lifetime. The questions of whether to build a stable career, of bearing children before it's too late to wonderings of whether love has passed you by. This book answered a question of mine that I never know who to ask: Is it okay for a woman to travel and do however she pleases without worrying about building a career or family?
And Rosita's answer?
Yes. Yes it is. As she says in this book, we all secretly hope for happy endings. We want things to be tied up neatly before it gets too late. Have the children before its too late. Build a career before its too late. But life never goes to plan for most of us. And also for most of us, this doesn't mean we will be unhappy in the unexpected path our life takes. And for Rosita, it meant that despite all the unfulfilled expectations, her life became a life well travelled and by extension,in my humble opinion - a life well-lived.
I read this book with fascination. But I was also highly aware of the suffocating bubble I felt closing around me as she described the snowy streets of a Japanese village or the majestic pool hidden in her otherwise simple dwelling in Bali. I want nothing more than to travel and see the world. But with the current global pandemic situation, it is a dream that is always being pushed further and further away into the future. Reading this book made that dream feel reachable and unreachable at the same time.
I was inspired in how she transformed her experiences into a career in journalism. The path seeked her rather than the other way around. I admired her single mindedness and courage at times, to walk the road less travelled alone. I would like to follow in footsteps like hers. I would also like to be brave enough to take a bus through the ancient Silk Road in Central Asia. I would like to experience the rainforest. I would like to see the world over for as long as I can, as much as I can - like the author is still determined to do.
What a wonderful read in my extremely travel deprived year. The writing was beautiful at times and I found myself dog earring certain pages for quotes that articulated thoughts and feelings that have also passed through me. One of my favourite quotes is this one:
"There were things I was deeply afraid of along the way, such as the thought of travelling on the local bus back to Gilgit, but I would not allow myself to be afraid of travelling alone. What was the alternative? Deny myself these experiences on the road, the marvellous as well as the difficult ones? Stay at home and never go anywhere? It's that thought, the one of involuntary stasis, that has always filled me with genuine fear."
(pg 102-103)
And that exactly is how I feel about travelling. If you wait for people to go with you, you may never go. So just go.
This was an amazing read that I'd recommend for anyone with feet that are always itching to be go 'elsewhere'.

Absolutely loved this memoir about a lifetime of travel. God, I wish I had her guts. Boland includes her solitary excursions to places I have never heard of. I loved the snippets about her relationships and development into the writer she has become. I didn't want to finish it but couldn't stop turning the pages. An inspirational read, even for this almost 50 year old while also being a perfect gift for younger women too.

One of my favourite books I've ever read - a book that I can see myself returning to time and time again.
Never wanted to book a one way ticket more.

Great book - gives an insight into travelling solo as a female, describing the lessons learnt & relationships built along the way. MAKES YOU WANT TO SEE MORE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD

When you read a book like that, you expect more stories and experiences from traveling, be it good or bad, but you just look forward to getting that hype of traveling and projecting yourself to places through reading. However this was not always the case in “Elsewhere”. The author sometimes goes on for several paragraphs or even pages about irrelevant topics and that are not always very interesting, like for example the fossil thingy at the beginning of the book. I have to say, i was a bit disappointed by the book!
March 8, 2021
I am so glad I read this book. I really loved reading about her unique experiences in countries around the world. I grew to admire her by reading her story. I actually ended up reading this book in one day; it was so interesting that I flew through it! Made even more interesting by the fact that she writes about a trip to Antarctica, which I'm planning to travel to in 2022. Really recommend this for travel memoir fans.

Yikes! Some of these stories made me very uncomfortable. The author puts herself in many unsafe situations. Maybe that’s what makes it such a good book. Call it “things I’d never do in places I’d never go.” Always an adventure to read about someone else’s adventures.

I loved this book. I thought I might be a little frustrated reading about Rosita Boland's travels at a time when I can't go further than 5km from my own house, but the opposite was true.
Boland writes with both head and heart. There is poetic description, and a tremendous generosity of spirit, as Boland interweaves her travels with the journey of her own life and relationships.
There is travel to escape, travel to seek, the need to be 'elsewhere', non-conformity. The journeys are as much about people as places, including Boland herself. For me, the structure of journeys interspersed with reflections and flashbacks worked well, and never felt overly introspective or narcissistic.
For me, this was a joy to read. It's also a great insight into the way travel has changed over time, the earlier journeys taking place before the internet changed everything about how we travel and view the world, making it somehow smaller than before. There are times when I was amazed at how Boland travelled alone-innocence or naivete? She remarks herself on the surprising lack of negative experiences to her health and safety.
A book about journeying, both physically and personally.

Thank you to my mum for recommending and lending this book to me for my 3 week interrail trip. There could be no better setting to enjoy this memoir than on a train with the landscape sliding by.
The author of Elsewhere paints a vivid picture not only of her travels, but also her own life and how deeply intertwined the two things are. The descriptions are stunning and the emotions and reflections are portrayed with raw honesty.
In short, this memoir was wonderful.

A beautiful book in every sense. I felt like I was with her on her adventures. I could picture the places and it has strengthened my desire to travel, learn and write. It opened my mind to people, places and events. Words don’t do it justice. I adored this book. Perfect.

I loved this! So interesting. A must for anyone interested in travel 👌
June 6, 2021
I have travelled to a few of the places visited in this book and really enjoyed the memories that the book prompted, especially at this time of enforced travel-free living! I enjoyed reading Rosita’s memories of her travels - I’m hoping it won’t be too long before I can set off to create some more travel memories of my own...
June 10, 2021
It was so enjoyable going along with her on her journeys. I could never be as brave as she is.
September 4, 2019
I’m not sure what to think of this book. It’s not me in many ways but SO me in others. The word nerdery in general and specific to travel captures my heart. Rosita Boland’s travel experiences make my own look like weekend jaunts, but her love of travel, her need to explore, mirrors my own. A weird book but also kind of a treasure. (Thank you, Tricia!)
March 26, 2020
A favorite read for a female traveler. The boldness of her solo travels build into a feminist tale that leave you with an ache to go elsewhere.

I found my own “Elsewhere��� within these pages. A truly life changing read for solo travelers everywhere.

You might think you, or people you know are well travelled. But Rosita Boland takes travelling to a whole other level. In her memoir, Elsewhere, she tells us about her experience in 9 different places she visited, but during her narrative she references so many other places and trips, I’m sure she could have written a book 10 times the length of Elsewhere.
The interesting thing about Boland is that she never took any photos anywhere that she went. Instead she kept meticulous diaries and so was forced to use words to describe the things she had seen and done and heard. Which I suppose is why her memoir works so well; she really makes us feel we are there with her, wherever she is.
My favourite chapters were Pakistan, Antartica and Japan. Not just because of how she described these places but also because of the things that happened to her there. But don’t make the mistake of thinking this is a travel guide; it really isn’t. Boland ties elements of her travels into her personal and professional life back in Ireland as she tries to come to terms with loss in several guises.
The one part of the book that I struggled to understand was her constant desire to leave Ireland and her reluctance to ever come back, but yet she did (always come back) and she has set up her home and trade here. Boland never really gave any reasons for this or tried to explain it so I scratched my head a bit over it. Elsewhere is a very worthwhile read although reading it could end up costing you...... you’ll spend days after finishing it concocting all sorts of travel plans!!!!

This is one of the most under rated books of all time. Truly amazing writing and story telling. Rosita takes you both on her emotional and physical journeys through her travels. She is the definition of a free soul. Her writing makes me want to travel again. She touches on personal topics of never being marrying, never having kids, and society’s expectations and negative views of single women. This should be in everyone’s reading list. 5/5!

I really enjoyed the final three chapters on Peru, Iceland & Bali. I appreciate the former romances and such honesty on display in these chapters and the section on miscarriages that are underrepresented and misunderstood. Furthermore, they really gave me a glimpse into how each of these countries look and feel, even if they didn’t explore the people or cultures.
However I distinctly did not enjoy the other seven. In particular, I procrastinated and trawled through the chapter on England. Since I’ve grown up in England, I found it wholly unsatisfying and immature in its telling. Similarly, Pakistan was a long list of roads and flitting from one place to another instead of any insight. To me it did not seem that the years that have passed since then have not helped to see anything in a significant light. I found this book both too factual yet too sentimental, too meandering yet too precise ; where was the inspiration for the reader?
All in all, this book did not give me the very introduction we are given “Fernweh - an ache for distant places” that the book is all about. Instead I have an ache to sit down and listen to someone talking about their country, instead of going on about my own travels, as I realise it can be rather one-dimensional and like staring at a map for an hour.

A wonderful travel memoir written by a smart and adventurous woman. If you are looking for something different that seems to have gone a bit unnoticed then do consider this book.
June 16, 2019
I almost didn’t want this to end. There is a sense of strangeness and bizarreness in some of Boland’s travel stories that makes this such a thrilling read. It’s wanderlust-fuelling and hugely relatable to anyone who’s ever travelled alone to faraway lands. It’s less travelogue and more memoir, as you don’t get an in-depth social or cultural exposé on the various places Boland journeys through. Nor is this the account of an infuriating Instagram-addicted twentysomething travel blogger with a romanticized idea of travel, something I found refreshing and immensely enjoyable.

Interesting stories, but there was little to them

Feeling Fernweh! ❤
When an Irish friend unexpectedly gifted me the only proof copy of the yet-to-be-published book ‘ELSEWHERE’ by Rosita Boland that she brought with her from Ireland, I wondered what this book would hold for me... Did it treasure a message for me to unriddle in the pages it held? Or was it just going to be a travelogue with too many facts to hold my attention.
I’ve always loved to travel, but travelling to distant places Alone is something I’ve always feared and yet eternally apotheosized.
Rosita’s story of ‘One woman, One rucksack and One lifetime of travel’ has given me both - a Dream and maybe the fortitude to live that dream someday…to tread my own path, to maybe embark on a journey of my own someday – an idea I had brushed under the carpet for the lack of dauntlessness.
This book is such a heart-warming, soul-stirring account of Fernweh- an ache for travel to distant places. Beautifully blended with narratives of different kinds of people she meets along her way and snippets from life at its best and worst – this book makes you want to get to know her better, to reach out to her and talk to her about all her amazing and inspiring travel experiences.
Fascinating, Enthralling and a complete Delight - If you’re a Wanderlust and are looking for a delightful tea-time read, this book is expected to be published & in stores by this 30th May 2019. So…Happy Wandering!

If you “suffer” from fernweh (an ache for distant place) then this book is for you.
Have you seen the Bruno Catalano’s sculpture called Traveller? I was fascinated by it. When you travel you leave a little piece of your heart at every place that you’ve visited. That’s the idea behind the missing bronze parts. If we follow Bruno’s idea then I was wondering how much we would see of Rosita Boland.
She has travelled over the world for the last thirty years and has been to places where I recall some of us can’t even find on the map. She travels alone most of the time, with a rucksack and a diary. She has experienced what it means to be a citizen of the world.
The word Onism has stuck on my mind after reading Rosita Boland’s book. It means Book revew Everywhere Rostia Bolandawareness of how little of the world you’ll experience. If you want to spin the globe close your eyes and put your finger to your next destination, but you can’t actually afford it, then buy the book. It’s your ticket to not one but nine countries.

This wasn't just a travel memoir, but also story of hers. I was in love of the book from the very first chapter, but felt unsure about the greatness later on. There were things that tricked real feelings or own memories out of me. I missed travelling, I missed encounters with travelers and locals, I missed kindness of strangers. I found myself consulting Google and Google maps several times, as I recognised hunger of a traveler and new experiences. I actually like that se focused on small encounters or short periods of travel on her long journeys to give you exact feeling of that experience and moment. What I did not like so much was some of her memories past the actual subject, some of them just didn't seemed to connect for me as a reader. Still I was more interested on travels than her memories elsewhere years back. But I guess she just really wanted to tell story of her,not her travels.

I loved the chapters on Pakistan and Peru. The author is wildly adventurous and takes risks that I would never take, so I enjoyed living vicariously through her. Each chapter is about a different destination, and overall the book is quite short. I wanted to hear about more of her trips, and found the frequent interruptions to her travel stories about her life back home to be annoying and not as interesting to me, until the last chapter. She wrote beautifully and honestly about her grief at never becoming a mother despite desperately wanting to and trying to, and how difficult the constant questioning and judging faced by all childless women is to deal with. The place she chooses to stay to heal is Ubud, Bali, a place I have been myself but was disappointed by, so I enjoyed reading about her different experience of finding a little slice of paradise in a place that had seemed more like paradise lost to me.

I loved this book. I was initially struck by the format - chronological tales of travels, each chapter in a different country (the majority I had visited, two in which I had lived), with autobiographical vignettes woven throughout. This structure worked wonderfully, and with Boland's writing skill, this book kept me up late reading, curious about her next adventure and about the particular aspect that warranted inclusion in this book.
Also, maximum points to Boland for introducing me to the word fernweh, which is the word that perfectly describes my unwavering, never-diminishing, perpetual feeling of "but where to next?", which I have had for my entire life: fernweh - the pain of not being in foreign parts; a desire to travel; an ache for distant places; the opposite of homesickness.

Rosita Boland’s memoir is all about “Fernweh”, the German word for the strong pull to see and experience foreign lands and cultures. She shares stories from the past twenty or so years, traveling to exotic locations like the Antarctic, a remote eco resort deep in the Peruvian rainforest, the mountains of Pakistan, but also more accessible places like Iceland, England and Bali. She describes the landscapes in vivid words, introduces us to some local characters and reassures us that backpacking as a solo woman around the world can still be a safe adventure. In most stories she also reveals something of her personal life, and the last chapter in Bali the most intimate, describing the greatest loss in her life so far and the subsequent pain.
Overall, mostly interesting destinations and stories, and well written.
