In "Hiking to Siberia", Lawrence Millman follows the trail of a woman who once tried to walk (and row) from New York City to Siberia. This stylish, often very funny collection of essays affirms Millman's place among the very best living travel writers.

Lawrence Millman has written fifteen books, including such titles as "Our Like Will Not Be There Again", "Last Places", "Northern Latitudes", "An Evening Among Headhunters", "A Kayak Full of Ghosts", and most recently the first ever guidebook to New England mushrooms. His essays and articles have appeared in National Geographic, Smithsonian, Sports Illustrated, Atlantic Monthly, and Outside. As a traveler, he chooses his destinations based on the Internet: if a place doesn't have a website, he'll immediately pack his bags and head there.
