I thought this book would transport me to various places that I would want to travel, but it fell short of the exotic descriptions that I was waiting for. Instead, I read of a woman who was so self-centered she couldn't write of anything but herself complaining because her life wasn't what she wanted, and yet she had enough money and friends to just quit, give up everything and travel.
I should be so lucky…wait, I am - have a life that I appreciate, apparently she didn't.
