Summary:
"Some people are meant to
travel
the globe, to unwrap its secrets and share them with the world. And some people have no sense of direction, are terrified of pigeons, and get motion sickness from tying their shoes. These people are meant to stay home and eat nachos.
Geraldine
DeRuiter
is the latter. But she won't let that stop her. A chronicle of the years
Geraldine
spent traveling the world after getting laid off from a job she loved. Those years taught her a great number of things, though the ability to read a map was not one of them. She has only a vague idea of where Russia is, but she now understands her Russian father better than ever before. She learned that what she thought was her mother's functional insanity was actually an equally incurable condition called "being Italian." She learned about unemployment and brain tumors, lost luggage and lost opportunities, and just getting lost in countless terminals and cabs and hotel lobbies across the globe. And she learned that sometimes you can find yourself exactly where you need to be, even if you aren't quite sure where you are. After getting laid off from her copywriting job,
Geraldine
DeRuiter
hit the road, and began chronicling her
travel
adventures on her blog, The Everywhereist (everywhereist.com). Whether it's eating roasted guinea pig in Peru, yelling at locals in Rome, or struggling to decipher the behavior of her fellow passengers ("Why would you use an airplane lavatory without shoes on?"),
DeRuiter
tackles
travel
with an equal mix of snark and heart as she hops around the globe with her husband, Rand Fishkin."--Provided by publisher.
