When disgraced journalist Maya Chen accepts a dare to circle the globe in thirty days—without airplanes—she expects a publicity stunt. Instead, she discovers a world transformed. From cargo ships crossing the stormy Pacific to trans-Siberian rails, from desert caravans to island ferries, each leg of the journey introduces strangers who become teachers and obstacles that become revelations. Racing against a ticking clock and her own buried grief, Maya learns that circumnavigating the planet isn't about distance—it's about perspective. Around the World in Days is a breathless adventure about slowness, connection, and finding home in constant motion.
