I just found out Between Worlds: An Expat's Quest for Belonging won an International Impact Book Award for memoir! 🏆Not a Pulitzer (haha), but it means a lot. My TCK story is resonating--yay! 🌏

Too much fun outrigger canoeing with Kapua Wa'a Experiences, departing right from Kaimana Beach. Owned by Kekoa Kekumano (star of Rescue Hi Surf), his second in command turned out to be another celebrity from Cirque du Soleil.

This time last year we were in Morocco, enjoying the wonderful flavors of North Africa. We learned so much on our food tour in Tangier and cooking class in Marrakech. Read all about it in Food, Wine & Travel Magazine.

​I loved doing the "For Love of Memoir" podcast with Erin Swanson--she was so easy to talk to and she understood the TCK perspective so well. Here's the trailer.

This was a special book presentation for Between Worlds at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, where I have been a volunteer since 2012. Under the trees with friends & supporters was magical.
💙 to Lisa Pidge for the reel.

There's so much more to Indonesia than Bali, though many people limit themselves to one tiny island in this enormous archipelago. This is an overview article and in the coming months, I'll profile each island.

My favorite TCK book, "Don't Lets go to the Dogs Tonight" has been made into a movie! The film is beautifully done. The little girl is an amazing actor and all the casting was perfect. Book & film are highly recommended.

The best part of the Book Passage event was seeing so many people from different parts of my life all coming together. It was a great discussion and there were so many perceptive questions about Between Worlds: An Expat's Quest for Belonging.

Book Passage is where I got my start in travel writing so it means a lot to me to present "Between Worlds: An Expat's Quest for Belonging" there. You can order the book there or your favorite indie bookstore.

We had a capacity crowd at Readers Books in Sonoma for my presentation of Between Worlds: An Expat's Quest for Belonging. It was incredible to see so many familiar faces and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting new people. Lisa Pidge put this amazing reel together.
