On what is thought to be a straightforward road trip across the country, Evan finds that nothing is ever simple when hitting the open road. After the car breaks down and he is abandoned by his friends, Evan decides to continue alone. This drastic change to his trip leads to experiences that change his entire outlook on both traveling and life in more ways than he could have imagined.
I know Evan personally but I didn't at the time I read the book. My life at the time of reading had so many parallels with the story he told in the book that I felt super engaged. I added all the places he visited to my bucket list! Before reading this book I had come to terms with the fact that I just don't really like reading. But it turns out I was just reading the wrong books! I'm a nonfiction gal! So reading this set me on a path of reading travel literature and eventually other types of nonfiction from there.
A real inspiring story about self discovery and the spontaneity of traveling. This book makes me want to leave the confines of the city and head to the mountains!
