The Good Girl's Guide To Getting Lost: A Memoir Of Three Continents, Two Friends, And One Unexpected Adventure (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
I really enjoyed this book, mostly because the author wrote about her travels in Ireland, Australia, and South America, all places I haven't read nearly enough about. I especially loved the Australia parts- I've never particularly had the urge to go there because it's so far away and seems like there's so little to do- boy, do I want to go there now, though! The South American parts seemed adventurous but a little too poverty-stricken and bed-bug ridden for me to want to explore. Regardless, this author had some amazing experiences and it was wonderful to travel the world with her from the comfort of my couch. I first discovered the book my sophomore year of college in the minuscule travel section of my local bookstore as I was just beginning to think about studying abroad. The title seemed as if it was directed toward me, so I purchased it on a whim and ended up finishing it only in a few days. This memoir is inspiring, humorous and well-written. If you're a well-seasoned traveler or simply thinking about traveling sometime in the future (especially if you're a college-aged female), I highly recommend this book. Reading it was the push I needed to brazenly pursue the wanderlust that had been nagging at me for so long.
