Drifters Without Borders: A Memoir of Chaos, Cutlery, and Cross-Cultural Bedlam
Get ready to laugh out loud at the world's most dysfunctional travel itinerary.
They say life is a series of choices... and Drew Lewis has a knack for picking the ones that lead straight into a hurricane of absurdity.
What started as a naive quest for a professional teaching career quickly devolved into a global tour of madness. From the "Goat Metropolis" of Hungary to the high-tech neon of Shenzhen and the ancient winding streets of Istanbul, Drew didn't just find a new life, she found a collection of fellow drifters who made "normal" look like a distant memory.
Buckle up for a journey where:
The Roommate is a kleptomaniac who "liberates" silver spoons from formal banquets.The Boss is a self-proclaimed "Business Guru" with a power-chair, an ego the size of Africa, and a penchant for workplace surveillance.The Boyfriend offers professional "cleanup" services as a romantic gesture.The Colleagues are either making midnight runs to the airport or locking their lovers in bathrooms.Through every "Lunchbox Incident," every "Beret Heist," and every Jack-Daniels-fueled plot for revenge, Drew faces the ultimate expat dilemma: Does she return to the safety of a mundane life, or does she embrace the beautiful, beer-soaked mess that makes her feel truly alive?
If you've ever wanted to quit your job, pack a bag, and dive headfirst into the unknown, this is the book that will remind you why you did (or why you're glad you didn't).
