Hello The Unknown: A girl's journey around the world to find her true self
Hello The Unknown is the intimate and inspiring account of a girl on a journey around the world, moving through her doubts and fears, to find herself.
While in Thailand on a modeling job, memories of a previous round-the-world backpacking trip with her then-boyfriend, Paul, hits Coline like a tsunami. She’s in a different relationship now and has just moved in with her boyfriend Andrew, but time and space are giving Coline greater clarity, and she cannot ignore how disconnected she’s grown from her self. As past and present collide into her life, Coline’s search for inner peace pushes her to make some major life changes.
From Thailand to New Zealand, from Normandy to New York City and from fear to love, Hello The Unknown is Coline’s journey home.

This is a nice story that reads like a diary. For anyone who's ever been in a relationship they weren't sure about, traveled to a new place for a job or school, and/or had even an inkling of wanderlust, this is for you. Sometimes we do things b/c we're "supposed to" according to society, and sometimes we refrain from doing things out of fear. The main character Coline is a young model who just doesn't feel like she really belongs anywhere or with anyone. When she does, it's her partner that doesn't.
It's a really nice story that no matter where you go, there you are. You have to find yourself, fix yourself, and discover yourself. No one can do any of that for you.
It might be a "bittersweet" ending, but that's how life is. It made me think about a lot of things in my own life. I would recommend this for a sociology and/or psychology class. It would make for an interesting discussion.

A quick, fun read for anyone who needs adventure, inspiration, or wants to travel halfway around the world without leaving his or her couch. Terrific first effort from this new voice in fiction.
