This inspiring read says, "Yes, you can," to women who have dreams of their own.

<span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';">Acting on wanderlust breeds fantastic
discoveries. Making it a
lifestyle puts dreams into reality. In Sea Fare,
Victoria presents a
global collage of unscripted culinary experience
that offers the reader an honest portrayal in
the school of life.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';">

loved reading her book. I wish I could have eaten it. When she isn’t catching
fish on hidden islands, immersing herself in fascinating cultures, or hanging
out with colorful characters, she’s serving up the most amazing meals and
sharing her recipes and secrets.</p><p></p><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><br /></span><p style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:'Trebuchet MS';">--Rita
