While I was traveling and writing for ctnow.com, women across the United States and from the Caribbean emailed not to ask about my geographic journey but my existential one. "How do you find the courage to travel on your own? they wondered. "How do you keep from getting lonely? Don't you feel self-conscious eating out alone?

But the inspiration for publication came during the cruise."
