Along the way, she unloads baggage both literal and emotional as she grows to know herself better.

Mind Expanding and Inspirational

This book really gave me a glimpse of a side of life that was totally foreign to me previously. Kristina put herself out there in some of the most extreme environments, out of her comfort zone and in some cases out of any humans comfort zone, to explore the edges of existence , its meaning and our roles in it. Her adventurous spirit , critical reasoning, and openness of emotion that she captured in this book is truly inspirational.

This was A beautiful piece of writing!

Inspirational and Captivating!

What an incredible audiobook, and what an incredible journey Kristina experienced! I loved getting to listen to her experiences as she went for it and traveled to places many of us will never go to meet new people, see other ways of life and grasp all life has for us! She demonstrated bravery, honored her inner feelings, and was not stopped by conventional wisdom. Her result was a life-changing adventure, and I am so happy she shared it with us; highly recommend it!

Great book

I’m a great traveller so going this fascinating. Kristina travels to South America and Africa on a journey of self discovery. A truly inspiring book about adventure, exploration and discovering one’s self and purpose in life

A Journey of Self-Discovery

Great book! It's like a really cool travel diary. The author goes all over Africa, South America, the Amazon jungle. But it's not just about places, it's about her figuring herself out. It's not just about the sights; it's about discovering deep stuff about herself.

If you're into stories mixing travel and soul-searching, then this one's for you. It might even push you to try something new. So get ready for a journey not just around the world but into Kristina's self-discovery ride! Highly recommended!

The Thinking Girls’ Eat Pray Love

Writing about taking a year out, a year off, a year traveling or a work-slash-play sabbatical is not new but the thinking here expressed on this psychological journey is as heartfelt and honest as it gets and thats what endears the reader to Liu’s story.

Yes there’s constant new sights and background travel and travelogue driving the machine but the internal journey is heartfelt and delivered in bite
-sized pieces that make you want to ration the reading to fantasize fully about the geography while Liu delivers personal insight deep enough to draw you in to her psychological journey.

The storyline, as such, stays light and fun, and although you (nor I ) may be interested in immersing in the Amazonian jungle, (or maybe you are?) the travel climax here meets the intellectual one and its meaty enough to get one thinking about one’s own journey.

Inspirational in an unexpected way, its a warm tale of mostly warm places for some cold winters evenings. Highly recommend.

great listen!

What a mind-blowing adventure! This listen is taking us on a global joyride, showing off the beauty of this big old world. With her mouthwatering tales of food, fabulous wine, and the intriguing characters she meets on the way, she's got us feeling like we've been to some pretty unfamiliar places. No matter where you're from, you can totally connect with Kristina's journey. In her quest for wisdom, Kristina dives into the same struggles we all go through and proves that with a strong spirit and an open mind, anything's possible. I hope I have the same courage as hers.

captivating memoir!

Highly enjoyed listening to the author's captivating recounting of her travels around the world - from heart-warming cross-cultural experiences to life lessons imparted, this audiobook is both highly engaging, adventurous, and insightful. It sparked in me inspiration to jump on a plane to cross the oceans and see what adventures await!
