Wonder - from the moment I started reading this book everything resonated with me. My heart said "yes, this exactly." I love and appreciate the way the author has put to words the wonder that comes as we wander and the trust and reliance that grows as we depend on the Lord day to day.

So much practical advice and suggestions from someone who gets where you may be at in your own personal journey.

As you travel solo, being totally responsible for yourself, it's inevitable that you will discover just how capable you are.

I love how Beth provides guidance, suggestions and support throughout this book. She has written chapters to help you prepare for your roadtrip in specific and necessary areas and also chapters to encourage your soul.

The last chapter stood out to me and is a big encouragement that I will come back to read multiple times.

As a frequent solo traveler myself, I highly recommend this book! This book begins in an unusual way for travel books: the author unfolds the layers of fear and doubt that can be present for solo travelers - especially female travelers - and helps you discover ways to overcome those fears to truly find the wonder in travelling alone. As the book progresses, she provides more and more practical tips, including everything from where to hide your backup credit card and keys to recommendations for making sure you have everything you need at your fingertips while you drive.

What a wonderful read! Not only do I have a passion to skip a week of school, hop in my car, and find the wonder around the bend, but I learned so much about how we can find and appreciate God’s creation in the beautiful nature around us. Throughout the book, I jotted down notes and highlighted tips and tricks, but I also smiled pleasantly reading Beth’s passion for travel. Whether you are roadtripping to get back to your college dorm after break, a family vacation, or checking off a bucket list item, you should read this book. Well done all around 👏🏼
