When Lou decided to embark on a journey around the world, she hoped to find answers to life. She didn't realize that returning from her trip would be scarier than taking it in the first place.
Had she been traveling around the world, or was she just running away from life?
We’re often under the illusion that if X happens, then everything will be fine. Lou learned that there is no such magical moment in our lives; our desires are always greater than our needs, and we will ever hope to get more.
This book is about looking back to see how Lou connected the dots in her spiritual path to embark on a healing journey. By giving you a glimpse of how she overcame different emotional and mental obstacles in her life and on her trip, she hopes her story can resonate with you and inspire your journey.
Lou understands that we don’t learn from each other’s perfection, we learn from each other’s struggles and bad moments. She wants to do something subversive — by sharing her weaknesses, falls and vulnerability instead of the “instagrammable” saturated blue sunshine, beaches, daisies, and roses, to let you know that you are not alone. We are here to lift each other up. By being raw and unapologetically yourself, you can be powerful and inspiring for other people too.
This is not just a book about travel, but a journey of transformation that all can relate to. By being a witness of her spiritual process, you will revisit all the answers that lie within you and unleash your power to heal yourself, too. You may not realize it, but you are capable and self-sufficient to do that. Let you guide yourself home — back to the origin of where it all begins. Join her trip around the world and let her take you back to the origin of your spirituality.

I try to read books set in countries I have visited. When I Googled Macau this book came up (along with a lot of frivolous stuff I certainly don't want to read). From reading the prologue I felt she was leaving the USA to go and live in Macau again. Anyone who has travelled a lot and who has lived in a foreign country knows about reverse culture shock and I was expecting her to give us an idea of what it's like to return to Macau. That did not happen. She just jumped into her travels and at most times it read like excerpts from her travel diary, where she would write something like XYZ was really amazing with the idea when I write my book for readers I will do some more research and expand on XYZ. But then she did not. So we read about some things/sites that were amazing to her eyes but we have no idea what it looks like or even what it is unless we do the research ourselves, which of course most readers won't, because there are too many good books out there waiting to be read.
Having said all that there are some real gems in this book but they are well hidden away. So read it and persevere.
I do applaud the writer for taking this huge step to get out of her comfort zone and explore the world on her own and even writing it in a book for others to read is a brave step. Well done.

LOVED this book!
Beautiful pictures and engaging stories. I, too, have wanted to live in a tree house. She reminded me I want to visit the Galapagos Islands and Belize! LOVED her story of seeing the Northern Lights with her sisters. A wonderful travel book that is not just about travel; it's also a story of insight and growth.

This book felt more like a travelog… it would have been a good read if I was expecting a travelog.. however I got stuck with expectations of “seeking within” and this book gave no insights in that sense.
