Life Strikes Back

But ...
It rains most days.
Don't even get me started on the food.
The locals are low on smiles.
>Then the sun finally comes out. With the help of my friends, George Michael's music, and laughter we tackle culture shock, wild interactions, changing plans, and uncover gems I never thought I would see with my own eyes.

But the leers, catcalls, and gropes are never-ending. Regardless we persevere ... until a vicious and humiliating encounter causes me to question if life on the road will save me or break me.

About the series: Grab your backpack and get ready for an adventure in the '90s when the Internet was scarce but laughs weren't. Life Strikes Back is Book Two in the five-part Back in a Year series, a true story of a young woman traveling around the world. Each book can be read independently, but it's more fun to take the full trip.
