Julie Morey's memoirs offer a beautiful insight into the life of a backpacker and, for once, you gain an insight into what this determined traveller is looking for. When someone leaves everything they know for the unfamiliar world of the backpacker you know they are searching for something. This is an honest account of her experiences as she redefined her opinion of herself and her relationship with both men and God. She covers everything from wetting herself by the side of the road, to kissing five men in one night, so you know you are in for a funny and insightful read.There is something about seeing the world that is really inspiring and character revealing and this book just goes to show how important that is for someone going through a divorce. While at times the various tales of her lustful affairs can get a touch monotonous, you have to remember that when you are in that environment life is very different and you are entirely driven by your senses. Needless to say, this is not a story for the prudish or judgemental. Morey certainly gives you a taste for Thailand and the single life, and I'm sure she achieved her aim in inspiring others to travel.Review by Elizabeth Wright on behalf of BestChickLit.com
