Polly Letofsky left her Colorado home and headed west across 4 continents and over 14,000 miles--by foot--to become the first woman to walk around the world. In a spirit of adventure, along with the goal of raising global awareness for breast cancer, strangers welcomed her into their homes. The world had embraced her. But in the middle of Polly's journey, 9/11 flung us all into a crossroads in world history, and she found herself navigating a vastly changing world.

Polly's GlobalWalk has been featured in over 2,000 newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations around the world including Good Housekeeping, CNN International, The CBS Early Show, NBC’s Your Total Health, and Fine Living Channel's Radical Sabbatical. A documentary entitled Polly's GlobalWalk has been released by Newcastle Productions.

In 3mph she richly details her journey with humor and honest reflection, the good times and the hardships. Sometimes serious, sometimes funny, but always inspirational, her story encourages us all to take on our biggest challenges--one step at a time.

About the Author

Polly Letofsky spent five years walking around the world, and six years writing the book about it. But it was worth it, her long awaited first book, 3mph: The Adventures of One Woman's Walk Around the World has won top honors at the 2011 IPPY Awards as Best Travel Memoir, Best Memoir at the 2011 Writer's Digest Best Book Awards, and was a Finalist in the USA Book Awards. You can invite Polly to your book club! Polly has made a unique offer to readers of 3mph. If your book club reads 3mph she would be honored to visit your book club as well! She can visit by Skype, or if you're in the Denver metro area the club usually has a pot luck of the foods represented in her book. (She tended to talk about food a lot...), and sure, maybe some of the wines of the various countries as well.
