Product Description
This book is the complete reference for anyone who wants to learn about a hidden phenomenon that affects hundreds of thousands of traveling women and foreign men: Instant vacation love affairs that banish loneliness, provide cultural insights, offer one-on-one, hand-to-hand foreign aid to the world’s poor, create international children and sometimes even change the course of history.
Romance on the Road is bound to become a landmark title revealing how the rules that once bound women to choose only "socially appropriate" mates have begun to crumble, as female executives and heiresses gallivant with penniless but charming beach boys around the world, from Kenya to Jamaica to Thailand.
Author Jeannette Belliveau examines all facets of romance on the road, with chapters on every world region known to attract female sex travelers (from Southern Europe to the Caribbean, Africa, India, Southeast Asia, Latin America,the Middle East and Oceania), an extensive look at the reasons for love journeys, stunning new material on women who traveled for love in centuries past, and roundups on typical experiences, portrayals in film and literature, ethics, etiquette and health, and predictions for the future.
About the Author
Jeannette Belliveau has worked as a financial and graphics editor at the Baltimore Sun and Washington Post and as a newspaper reporter, editor and designer in Maryland, Alaska and Britain (Montgomery Journal, Tundra Drums, Surrey Advertiser). She lived in London and Surrey from 1981-85.
From 1985 through 1994, she traveled in six continents. In 1991, she revisited Asia as a Jefferson Fellow, sponsored by the East-West Center in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Her first book, An Amateur’s Guide to the Planet, described adventure travels to 12 countries and became a surprise hit as a cultural geography and intercultural communications text, used by 30 colleges.
In her second book, Romance on the Road, Belliveau blends five years of painstaking research with a brave examination of her own between-marriages sojourns as a romance traveler in Greece, the Caribbean and Brazil. Romance on the Road also reflects the input of 25 of the world’s top scholars, from five countries and numerous prestigious universities, on mating behavior, international public health and sex tourism.
Belliveau was born in 1954 in Washington, D.C., and grew up in Rockville, Md. She graduated in 1976 as a journalism major, summa cum laude, from the University of Maryland.
Belliveau lives in the maritime district of Fells Point in Baltimore, Md., with her husband, artist and historian Lamont W. Harvey, and their Shetland sheepdogs and cats.
