Polly writes about her desire to walk around the world at age 12 and her perseverance in figuring out how to do it. Her humor and tenacity get her through a five year trek across all the continents, step by step, and she becomes the first woman to walk the world--a feat most of us would not even consider trying. We learn about different foods, different traditions, how an American and Jewish woman is perceived around the world, and how eager some countries are to help Polly reach her goal of raising money for breast cancer awareness--some of the countries with the least awareness turning out to be the most helpful. We laugh with and are scared for Polly when she fights off insects, uses her pepper spray to ward off men and animals, and walks through desert and snow. We learn of her feelings about being an American and gain perspective on the current state of affairs as we relive the early 2000's, the time of 9/11 and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Hats off to Polly for an amazing walk and a great read. Review: an amazing and inspiring story - Polly Letofsky left Vail Colorado in August 1999, and spent most of the next 5 years trekking across the globe on foot to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. Totally insane, right?! Reading her inspiring and engaging memoir of this incredible adventure makes you realize just how insane and improbable it was she could accomplish this feat. She did it all with a totally by the seat of her pants (soles of her shoes?) support system — an informal network of Lions’ Club chapters, friends, family and random strangers who went out of their way (literally) to help Polly accomplish her mission. The entire book is very readable and relatable. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll shake your head at the outlandishness of it all. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #431,996 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #100 in General Australia & South Pacific Travel #112 in Cultural, Ethnic & Regional Humor #144 in Solo Travel Guides | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (746) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 1.04 x 8.5 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0983208506 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0983208501 | | Item Weight | 1.16 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 416 pages | | Publication date | December 6, 2014 | | Publisher | GlobalWalk, Incorporated | ## Images ![3mph: The Adventures of One Woman's Walk Around the World - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-2tdmli5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Around the World Step by Step *by D***. on August 12, 2025* Reading 3 MPH is a treat.

The book is a page-turner. There are many adventures and characters, and unexpected experiences. My caveat is the writer needs to fact-check a couple of the historical contextual references. You say that Turkey is at the confluence of Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Europe. But there is no connection between Africa and Turkey. Also, I really do sympathise with the rabid anti-Americanism you endured in Europe. Most of those people were making unfair generalisations. Indeed you travelled during a period when the US was invading countries: Iraq and Afghanistan. But you seem to celebrate with your fellow countrymen when Iraq is invaded and Saddam Hussein is captured. But what did Saddam Hussein ever do to the US? The Iraq invasion was purely revenge for 9/11, yet Iraq bore no relation to the 9/11 attacks, and Americans, including you did not take a moment to consider critically whether your military was going after the right people. Invading countries is a serious business and involves death and destruction. Going after the 9/11 perpetrators is understandable, but patience was required to get Osama, which happened eventually. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/19621508-3mph-the-adventures-of-one-womans-walk-around-the-world](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/19621508-3mph-the-adventures-of-one-womans-walk-around-the-world) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-01*
