Combining breathtaking travel photography with compelling personal narratives, She Explores shares the stories of women on unforgettable journeys – women who live out of vans, trucks, and vintage trailers, exploring wild landscapes, cooking meals over campfires, and sleeping under the stars.

Here are the stories of a mother raising her children on the road and crafting her own version of the 'American dream,' a firefighter discovering her true grit on the fire line, a young marathoner on a quest to become an Olympian, and a musical duo hiking with their instruments to perform concerts deep in the wilderness. Complementing the personal narratives are practical how-tos with advice for planning your own adventure, including tips for preparing for a solo hike, must-haves for a road-trip kitchen, and where to sleep on a road trip.

Beautiful, empowering, and exhilarating, She Explores is a celebration of female courage, self-reliance, and self-discovery, and a spirited invitation to explore the world on your own terms.

Industry Reviews

"a series of odes to adventures in the wild told by nature-loving women-both beginners and badasses-and prepare to plot your own expedition. You'll find hard-won advice amid the captivating tales; as one notes, "taking a chance on the out- doors is always worth it." -- Shape
"This month, author and photographer Gale Straub is releasing She Explores, 40 first-person tales from women inspired by their adventures. Highlights include a musical duo who play sunrise summit concerts (past audiences: Mount Pilchuck in Washington and the Monte Cristo Range in Utah); Sarah Attar, one of Saudi Arabia's first female Olympic athletes, who runs the backcountry trails of the Eastern Sierra; and Marine Malvar de Jesus, who swapped a career as a lawyer for the life of a mountain nomad." -- Conde Nast Traveller (UK)
