..... tells the inspiring true story of an ex-teacher who swaps costly package tours for the unpredictable adventure of Couchsurfing. What begins as a frugal alternative soon becomes a journey of generosity, priceless cultural exchange, and unexpected friendships. A global adventure - from meeting local women at a party in Saudi Arabia to spiritual evenings by the fireside in the Sacred Valley, Peru and a roadtrip around the tropical island of Mauritius, each experience challenges her assumptions about people, comfort, and belonging. Part memoir, part practical guide, this warm and wanderlust-inducing book offers a candid look at how opening your door - and your mind - can turn travel into something truly transformative.
