About the book:
One Woman Walks Europe: In this epic test of stamina and will, 5500 miles over 2 years, Ursula starts in Kyiv and crosses Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, France, Spain and the UK. She brings to life the challenging landscapes and people she meets, and tests her limitations, confronting her traumatic childhood, unsuitable relationships and life-changing illness, realising how much she needs community, while pushing it away. When Covid forces her to lockdown in France, we share her loneliness and determination, as she waits it out and begins again, crossing the Camino de Santiago, and coming home to Wales. A life-changing walk for Ursula and for every reader who takes this journey with her.
One Woman Walks Wales: Visiting home after travelling in Europe, a routine trip to the doctor left 31 year old Ursula with an Ovarian cancer diagnosis. Determined not to sink into self-pity led Ursula to a plan to walk Wales to raise money and awareness. A fascinating insight into not just one woman during a testing time, but a country, its landscape and its people. 160 colour photographs.
