WHO AM I?
Aliza

My name is Aliza Sherman. I've written several books for women including "Cybergrrl: A Woman's Guide to the World Wide Web" and "Cybergrrl@Work: Tips and Inspiration for the Professional You" as well as "PowerTools for Women in Business: 10 Ways to Succeed in Life and Work."

You can read more about my work at MediaEgg.com and about my year-long RV trek around the country at RVGirl.com.

I featured at least 50 women in EACH of the above books and will include at least that many in my new book.

I'm working on another book - "Travelgirl: Solo Travel that Changed Women's Lifes" - and am seeking women who used travel as a way to transform their lives, such as taking a sabbatical and entirely shifting careers or taking a solo journey and being inspired to start a business.

Travel must have been the catalyst or part of the process for change. Women must be willing to be interviewed by e-mail over the course of the next few months and able to discuss how their travels changed their lives or the way they see themselves. Travel should be a CATALYST.

I'm working on seeing where stories I've received for my travel book fit.

Please pick a category where you feel your travel story best fits and answer the related questions. Please pick ONE trip that was most transformative for you.

Also, please fill out the form below. This will be so helpful as I decide what to include in my book.

**PLEASE PUT YOUR NAME AND CATEGORY IN THE SUBJECT OF YOUR RESPONSE.**

Thanks for submitting your story!
