"An inspiring yet relatable read for anyone ready to stop settling."
--Nina Ruggiero, Travel + Leisure What if you could choose a life of adventure without sacrificing the life you've already built? In this inspiring memoir--the antidote to the "just quit your job and ditch all your belongings to backpack the world" mentality--a young woman explores how she took calculated risks to follow her dreams: traveling and living abroad without sacrificing stability and comfort. Helene Sula always knew she wanted to pursue something a little different from a "normal life"--not an outright rejection of the conventional path many of her peers embraced but one that empowered her to experience other cultures and corners of the globe. To lead a stable life and travel the world. To seek adventure and still be happily married. From skinny-dipping in the icy Baltic Sea and hiking Germany's storied Black Forest, to wrestling with visa applications and apartment hunting in medieval Heidelberg, Helene shares the realities--both the magical and the everyday--that come with chasing bold dreams and learning that home is where you make it. If you've ever felt stuck in a mundane career or routine and want a fresh start without completely starting over, Helene's story will prove that you don't have to uproot your life to find meaning--just have the heart to take a leap.
