Welcome to Litsy!

Rita found herself suddenly and unexpectedly divorced and decided a cheap way to live would be to hop from one developing country to another. This felt super exploitative to me and reeked of white privilege. Gross. It was going to be my Nicaragua book, but I‘ve found something else.

I love travel...I'm sure the author is a lovely creature but I don't think I could travel with this gal and how she gushes about herself. The places are facinating but I had to bail.

More of a wish tree than a Christmas tree. Smirk and I will be celebrating Christmas lite this year. 😆

Tagged one of my favorite books: Tales of a Female Nomad where the reader gets a taste of countries that are not on most tourist‘s itinerary. #oneKgiveaway #catsoflitsy

Just finished this for book club. A middle aged woman, recently & somewhat unexpectedly divorced, decides to sow her adventurous oats & travels alone to various parts of the world, immersing herself into the culture of each community. Enjoyed this for the most part, and somewhat envious of the author's outgoing personality which enabled her to do some of the things she did. I started on audio, but switched over to book format, which was better.

Tales of a Female Nomad is one of my favorite travel tale books. #OrangeYouGlad

Tales Of A Female Nomad ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
On another note, I battle icy hands and feet daily but this hand warmer seems to help a bit ❤

At the beginning I disliked the author but discovered I actually felt more jealousy than dislike. Women just aren't able to do what she did. She left a cushy lifestyle for extended travel in remote areas of the world immersing herself into families, native culture, local food, & ceremonies. She's brave, social, pushy & trusting. If you tend to jump to judgement of others this book may annoy you as it did others who reviewed. Face value!

Self-medicating in a difficult week. Catnip for toys for Smirk and tea and armchair travels for me. I'm in Guatemala headed for Nicaragua in a few pages. There may have also been copious amounts of ice cream involved.

Library sale haul that thrills me even after seeing others gargantuan stacks. Need to choose my next book tomorrow. Just now finishing Lonesome Dove so need some contrast. Suggestions?
