'Have you ever wanted to quit your job and travel the world?' After years of deferring this dream, author Dominic Carrilloâ€”without much money or a solid planâ€”bought a one-way ticket to Italy to try it out. What unfolded was a year abroad that far exceeded the authorâ€™s imagination: traveling throughout Western Europe, working in a convent in Nigeria, Greek island hopping, and finally settling down in Eastern Europe. This memoir is a collection of storiesâ€”at once adventurous, funny, and thoughtfulâ€”which offer a glimpse into the wonderful and strange possibilities that open up when somebody steps out into the world with a modicum of courage and no definitive game plan.
