Wanderlust
Spanning 15 years of travel, beginning when she is a sophomore in college, Wanderlust documents Elisabeth Eaves’s insatiable hunger for the rush of the unfamiliar and the experience of encountering new people and cultures. Young and independent, she crisscrosses five continents and chases the exotic, both in culture and in romance. In the jungles of Papua New Guinea, she loses herself to a swashbuckling Australian; in Cairo, she reconnects with her high school sweetheart. She discovers the beginning of a pattern that will characterize her life over the long-term: while long-distance relationships work well for her, traditional relationships do not. Wanderlust takes readers on a wondrous ride from the South Pacific to the Middle East to the capitals of Europe and beyond.

“If ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ is a light beer, ‘Wanderlust’ is a vodka martini served straight up with a twist. Cool, precise, elegant prose that packs quite a punch.”
