Lena Divani, in her book "What I Learned Walking Around the World," urges the reader to leave comfort behind and explore the world through numerous adventures, highlighting with humor and inexhaustible curiosity her various experiences in different countries and regions.

In detail:

When you finish school and university, dear reader, there is a way to continue your education: to rest. Leaving the couch behind, you grab your backpack, boots, and passport. You love ports, airports, unknown words, sleeping in a tent, strange faces, and unexpected encounters. You travel to the explosive Venezuela of the dying Chavez, to sexy Cuba where changes happen except for the devotion to Che, to pre-industrial Ethiopia with its cut clitorises, to Vietnam where the dog is an excellent meal, to Tierra del Fuego where Darwin was inspired for his theory, to New Zealand of the Maori where the water flows backward. To see the world upside down, you must go to villages and mountains, not just cities that are like shop windows. Don't be afraid, you don't need to be an athlete. Whoever wants to climb, climbs.

I did it sixteen years ago, and I will explain to you how and why. I decided to gather in a book the funniest, darkest, most unexpected stories that happened to me during my adventures in mountains and cities worldwide. I want to convey to you what I lived and what I learned, hoping to convince you to take the next step.
