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.

Author Bio:
Polly Letofsky was 37 years old when she sold everything she owned, left her home in Colorado home and headed west – by foot – to become the first woman to walk around the world. She walked across four continents, twenty-two countries, and over 14-thousand miles.
Over her five years of walking and living one step out of her comfort zone every day, she developed a set of skills in goal setting, creating a clear vision, problem solving, adapting to culture, and team building. When she wrote her book about walking around the world and got ripped off in the publishing world, that launched her into taking those newly developed skills to start a new business — My Word Publishing, a publishing model that interrupted the publishing world by helping authors professionally self-publish their books while maintaining 100% of all their rights. My Word Publishing has now grown into a publishing library of over 750 books, ten publishing consultants, 35 editors, and representing authors from 14 countries.
So while her friends and peer group were climbing the corporate ladder, Polly stayed on point with the childhood dream to go discover the world in her own weird way — alone, by foot — and that lead her to a dream she didn’t even know she had.
