Description A wise, passionate account of the Pleasures of traveling solo In our hectic, hyperconnected lives, many people are uncomfortable with the prospect of solitude.
She has appeared on CNN\'s American Morning, NBC\'s The Today Show, and NPR\'s The Takeaway..
About the Author Stephanie Rosenbloom is the staff columnist for the Travel section of The New York Times, where she has been a reporter for various desks (including Styles, Business, and Real Estate) for more than a decade.
Rosenbloom\'s engaging and elegant prose makes Alone Time as warmly intimate an account as the details of a trip shared by a beloved friend--and will have its many readers eager to set off on their own solo adventures.
In chapters about dining out, visiting museums, and pursuing knowledge, we begin to see how the moments we have to ourselves--on the road or at home--can be used to enrich our lives.
Walking through Four cities--Paris, Florence, Istanbul, and New York--and Four seasons, Alone Time gives us permission to pause, to relish the sensual details of the world rather than hurtling through museums and uploading photos to Instagram.
Through on-the-ground reporting, insights from social science, and recounting the experiences of artists, writers, and innovators who cherished solitude, Stephanie Rosenbloom considers how traveling Alone deepens appreciation for everyday beauty, bringing into sharp relief the sights, sounds, and smells that one isn\'t necessarily attuned to in the presence of company.
Yet a little time to ourselves can be an opportunity to slow down, savor, and try new things, especially when traveling.
