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).
