I was hoping for a memoir about choosing to never get married or have kids and the adventures that they had and happiness they found in spite of that. However, this was more of a typical travel memoir, however written from the POV of an older Gen X/Younger Boomer, and you can tell! So many problematic views or comments on others cultures that you just wouldn't see in a recently published book. That aside, it was a funny, honest and adventurous book. Not exactly what I was looking for but it was a decent read.
