review 1: I received an ARC copy of this book. The title captured my attention, but I don't know that I would have picked it up if it hadn't been a giveaway because I wouldn't have thought I would have connected with the book. I'm glad it ended up in my hands. Kristen Newman is funny and engaging. Her stories were super relatable, even though I hate traveling (Anti-flying). In fact, Kristen's list of perfect travel companion qualities were pretty much the opposite of me. I admired her bravery even more for being someone that is firmly planted on local soil. As she listed off stories about vacation romances, I found myself saying "Been there, sister!" more than once! Her vulnerabilities brought me into her story. I also now know that if I decide to brave planes again, I need ... moreto get massages in Iceland on my first stop. This was a page turner for me! Thanks for the copy!
review 2: Funny and entertaining. Aside from her somewhat cushy and flexible job (which I did not have when I traveled), there was quite a bit to relate to. She especially won me over when she writes about her experiences in Israel, a county I loved living in. She has inspired me to think about traveling again and getting out in the world. Recommended if you like funny memoirs, travel, and are looking for something light and fun to read. less

I like her wit but she lost my interest after about hundred pages, she wasn't giving anything new.

Meh. It was fine, I guess, but very different to what I was hoping for.
