Anna was never anything like those "real" runners on telly, but when she read about New Zealand’s 3,000-kilometer-long Te Araroa Trail, she began to wonder...perhaps being a "real" runner was overrated. Maybe she could just run it anyway? The Pants of Perspective is a witty, colorful, and at times painfully raw account of a journey to the edge of what a woman believes herself to be capable of. It is a coming-of-age story that will lead you on a roller-coaster ride through fear, vulnerability, courage, and failure.

They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

Engaging way to experience Nashville!
A few things about me:
1. I'm a tour guide, so I'm pretty picky (snobby?) about how I like to learn about touristic destinations. The information has to be delivered in an enticing way that draws you in because you can see/feel/hear yourself involved or impacted.
2. I don't really love visiting cities and can feel pretty overwhelmed by them.
Just with this audiobook, I was absolutely able to experience Nashville through the narrated journey. I got lost in fascinating facts and super cool stories. And, thanks to the inviting feel from this book, I feel like I'm on friendly and familiar terms with Nashville now and am not daunted by a city visit! I would absolutely go and see this stuff for myself!

Interesting read
I had been planning a trip to Nashville before covid hit and plan it again soon. This book is full of interesting facts and I now feel like I know the place so much better and will enjoy it so much more. The story of how it became known for its music with a big music scene is very interesting

I am a local to Nashville, and I didn't know about half of these fun facts. I thought the content was informative and fun to listen to. It definitely kept me entertained on my drive today. Now, I can't wait to go downtown to check out a few of the places mentioned in the book. If you are a fan of Nashville, a local, or a tourist wanting to visit, you will love this audiobook.
