I normally love books on travel, but not this one. To begin with it barely talks about the places they travel other than the immature and annoying things her not-boyfriend does. It's disjointed, talks mainly about the not-boyfriend who comes across as irritating to say the least, and about how a former home-schooled, very Christian girl can become "deviant." A book that really should have gone unwritten and experiences that could have been kept to herself and her close friends like most people do with their awkward finding themselves twenties.
Don't listen to the audiobook. She both emphasizes and pronounces (Cro-ai-she-a) things oddly. Also, it's peanut butter AND jelly sandwich.

This was just an okay read for me. I respect openness in relation to talking about mental health thus 2 stars, however, I didn't necessarily like the people in the story - the entire piece is dripping with privilege in a way that had me skipping whole pages of prose in frustration.
Facil de leer, nada muy extravagante. El libro te hace acompañante de dos viajes simultaneos. El viaje interno de la protagonista y el externo que lleva de lado de un completo extraño. Es un libro sobre atreverse, dar el salto sin pensar en donde vas a aterrizar y sobre todo, el monton de sorpresas que apareceran entre el punto A y el punto B.

Could you travel thru 8 countries in 1 outfit? With just a wallet or purse? No suitcase...no baggage. 3 weeks in 1 outfit...washing it in sinks or machines while couch surfing. This book is exceptional in not only telling how they truly did this but also discussing mental illness and anxiety. It's an amazing book.
A journey into the unknown, Clara Benson's memoir of a crazy trip strikes a cord on many levels. Her vulnerability in articulating the struggles of college graduates in a terrible job market, dating in today's world, and striving to open herself up to uncertainty is relevant and relatable. Would definitely recommend for anyone who is questioning doing what's expected vs. being okay with carving out a new path.
