Still, she feels stagnant, empty, and as blocked as the river view from her Upper West Side apartment. Now divorced and in her mid-30s, she has never gotten past an early childhood trauma of being torn away from her brother and sister when her parents separated. Since then, nothing sticks. No one stays. She craves a sense of permanence, a place to call home.

A perfect mix of romance and exploration
Listening to this story was really enjoyable. The way the author wrote it, from how the story is organized to the interesting moments where she thinks about herself and talks about the places she goes, is really impressive. This story makes you understand that life is like a journey, and as we move through it, there are things to learn at every step. It also tells you to do what you think is important in life and not be scared to take big chances. The person reading the story did a great job, making it feel like you're actually there. It truly was a beautiful piece of writing!

Mind Expanding and Inspirational
This book really gave me a glimpse of a side of life that was totally foreign to me previously. Kristina put herself out there in some of the most extreme environments, out of her comfort zone and in some cases out of any humans comfort zone, to explore the edges of existence , its meaning and our roles in it. Her adventurous spirit , critical reasoning, and openness of emotion that she captured in this book is truly inspirational.

A Journey of Self-Discovery
Great book! It's like a really cool travel diary. The author goes all over Africa, South America, the Amazon jungle. But it's not just about places, it's about her figuring herself out. It's not just about the sights; it's about discovering deep stuff about herself.
If you're into stories mixing travel and soul-searching, then this one's for you. It might even push you to try something new. So get ready for a journey not just around the world but into Kristina's self-discovery ride! Highly recommended!

What an incredible audiobook, and what an incredible journey Kristina experienced! I loved getting to listen to her experiences as she went for it and traveled to places many of us will never go to meet new people, see other ways of life and grasp all life has for us! She demonstrated bravery, honored her inner feelings, and was not stopped by conventional wisdom. Her result was a life-changing adventure, and I am so happy she shared it with us; highly recommend it!

The Thinking Girls’ Eat Pray Love
Writing about taking a year out, a year off, a year traveling or a work-slash-play sabbatical is not new but the thinking here expressed on this psychological journey is as heartfelt and honest as it gets and thats what endears the reader to Liu’s story.
Yes there’s constant new sights and background travel and travelogue driving the machine but the internal journey is heartfelt and delivered in bite
-sized pieces that make you want to ration the reading to fantasize fully about the geography while Liu delivers personal insight deep enough to draw you in to her psychological journey.
The storyline, as such, stays light and fun, and although you (nor I ) may be interested in immersing in the Amazonian jungle, (or maybe you are?) the travel climax here meets the intellectual one and its meaty enough to get one thinking about one’s own journey.
Inspirational in an unexpected way, its a warm tale of mostly warm places for some cold winters evenings. Highly recommend.

With her mouthwatering tales of food, fabulous wine, and the intriguing characters she meets on the way, she's got us feeling like we've been to some pretty unfamiliar places. No matter where you're from, you can totally connect with Kristina's journey. In her quest for wisdom, Kristina dives into the same struggles we all go through and proves that with a strong spirit and an open mind, anything's possible. I hope I have the same courage as hers.
