REVIEWS
"What a gift to read about in a day and time where everyone remains so self-centered and the news is so depressing. THIS IS NOT THAT BOOK!!!! This is where you are uplifed and encouraged! What are you waiting for?!?! Get out - enjoy life - do good! Thank you for sharing your heart and passion for life!"
"Great read, very inspiring. The author’s journey touched my soul. This book is a road map for anyone looking for adventure and wanting to make a difference in the world."
"As a longtime, solo backpacker volunteer traveler myself, I am glad to see other female volunteers sharing their experiences to encourage others to do the same. We can all help each other out - and doing so in other countries breaks down barriers and stereotypes while buidling empathy and understanding."
"If you're intending on setting off into the world, and thinking of volunteering in third-world countries, this book gives a lot of tips and experiences about the subject. The author combines her own experiences working with children and animals in very undeveloped regions, with lists of items you would need to know if you want to follow in her footsteps. A useful book to have with you on your journey."
"Do good and be good! I love this book and the author's down to earth manner and real-life stories! I couldn't help using one of the stories in a sermon I was preaching because of its relevance and the lesson learned (something that is soooo valuable)."
