Welcome to Litsy!

Another 5 star travel memoir! She makes it clear she wants to have kids someday, but she's not in a rush to settle down like all her friends. She's more determined to sow her wild oats first and this book details those stories. Some were funny, some romantic, all inspiring. Perfect read before my solo trip to Hawaii. I loved hearing about her "vacationships" and unexpected experiences and I love the message of travel as "life changing medicine" ?

Sometimes too breezy in schticky sit-comese? Yes. Self-absorbed, engaging, exhausting & hilarious? YES. Moments of self-knowledge & understanding through travel are familiar & fun. With “good traveler rules” like “do the thing you‘re supposed to do in the place you‘re supposed to do it” & “be aware to show the culturally correct amount of booty,” Newman is my kind of travel partner. Seems now she‘s at home in LA taking her turn “breeding.” 🤣 2014

This is hysterically funny! Beyond that, it is highly relatable if you have ever been single, or ever traveled anywhere. I‘ve been living abroad for 11 years now, and I can‘t believe I just discovered this book! The author has written for several hit TV shows (That 70‘s Show and How I Met Your Mother are two of them), and the spot-on observations are genius🤌🏼

Thanks for the tag @peanutnine

A fun read in which the author shares travel stories from her youth. A co-worker recommended this after we spent a day sharing our own travel stories and it sparked a lot of laughter and more conversation.

Airport wine and thematically appropriate read before jetting off to Barcelona for Thanksgiving. Kristen Newman might be my new hero.

That title will slap you in the face, but a lot of fun to read on a plane to somewhere new!

Fun memoir. As a fellow world traveller I found it totally relatable. Now I need to go on a trip! 🌍✈

I had such high hopes for this book as it came highly recommended from my travel club.

1. I had to pick this book up thrice.
2. I wasn‘t impressed, but rather disappointed with everything about this book. I mean - the title was CAPTIVATING, but that was it. Nothing else in this book is worth mentioning.
3. Don‘t waste your time (unless of course, you‘d like to keep track of the number of men she slept with that was mentioned in this book).

#nowreading on Kobo! It has been a while since I've read a good travel memoir. The last was Wild by Cheryl Strayed. Hope this lives up to all the raving reviews!

Not what I was wanting it to be. The best parts are actual travel adventures, not her international hooking up stories. Seemed like she skimmed over the stuff that was interesting to me and really elaborated on the stuff that wasn't.

Tous is such a brutally funny and honest look into female singlehood coupled with wanderlust. It's amazing. I, personally, identified with it more than any other memoir I have read - I've read a lot.

Is this like "accept the Juan you're given" @WatchMeMerp ?

A book about travel. Cannot remember which reading challenge this is for. 😂

The vacation I needed!

#readharder2017 book 2!

The title of this book makes me so happy

The number of times I have almost bought a one way ticket to Argentina while reading this book is insane.
