The story was entertaining and motivational but the jokes were just offensive and bad. It activated my travel bug but also reminded me of how the other half live and that most people reading this book will likely never get to experience that.

I loved this book! I read it while on a girl's trip which made it even better. A wonderful read for any woman but specifically single gals who love some adventure
Finished the book and immediately wanted to grab my passport and just go. Kristen’s story is inspiring and will keep you laughing and cheering her on the whole time. Seriously though, I can’t stop smiling
If I didn’t already have the urge to go solo travel, these stories speak to that other version of you you lie in bed and dream about embodying. I don’t think it’s far fetched for me….stay tuned
I loved the first half of this and was a little disappointed by the ending. This book is a memoir of a woman in her late 20s/ early 30s who loves to travel and isn’t ready to settle down while all her friends are doing so (this takes place in the 2000s). The first part of the book really inspired me to get out and travel more and got me really excited for my upcoming Europe trip. Great energy, funny writing (the author is a sitcom comedy writer), and hilarious travel stories. The second half of the book has the author thinking more about settling down, and the book ultimately ends with her meeting her now husband. I feel like the first half of the book really pushed the message that you don’t need a partner to be happy and it’s acceptable to still be solo traveling (on the cheap) into your 30s but the second half was more that it’s OK to sow your wild oats until you meet your partner rather than it’s always celebrated to have wanderlust and be single. While, the first half of the book reinvigorated my love of travel the second half of the book almost made me feel like I’m getting too old for it (or at least the type of travel that she’s doing in this book). Of course the author can’t change the story of her life, but I find it interesting that the author herself states that she would not have written this book if she was still single. I was hoping this might be more of an example for women who choose to stay single and/or not have kids based on the title. That said, overall, I really enjoyed hearing about her stories, especially as a single solo female traveler 10+ years ago.

I really wanted to love this book as I am in my thirties and single. But the life that the author leads is unrealistic to the average individual. As I could relate to some of this, I think there is more to traveling single than sleeping with various guys from different countries.
