This podacst is based on Lisa Ruoff's own personal experiences, as a single solo female traveler, within her highly unconventional life. Alaska to Cuba and Back is the story and is about leaving her little, off grid cabin in Alaska to make her way onto a sailboat off the east coast of the states, to sail around Cuba with a South African captain and the girl he met at a bar the night before. She wrote a book about this. Her second book, Bite of the Travel Bug , recently released,  is about backpacking and hitchhiking adventures in both Australia and Africa.  Hear about her experience with a Tasmanian Devil in, guess where, Tasmania. All fun stuff, and she is still alive to talk about it. http://www.malcolmteasdale.com
