Going alone tempts you, but you have fears and doubts: is it dangerous? Will I be able to manage in a distant country so different from France? will I be able to make myself understood in another language? won’t loneliness weigh me down too much? The gaze of others, quite simply, can also prevent you from embarking on the adventure.

This is the case of Katia Astafieff that Bintily Diallo receives today. She has traveled alone to countries as different as China, Canada, Tunisia and Russia. She drew from her travels a book which was a great success: How to travel alone when you’re petite, blonde and adventurous (published by Éditions du Trésor and reissued by Pocket) and more recently The girl who wanted to see the bear (Arthaud) in which she recounts her extraordinary encounter with a bear.
