Tara R. (portabellopig) reviewed Backpacked: A Reluctant Trip Across Central America on + 40 more book reviews
I probably wouldv'e passed on this one had I seen it in the store, but Kindle had a freebie offer so I snagged it. Thank you Kindle! Hilarious tale of a "prissy" girl and her adventures in Central America. Some other reviewers have complained that the author didn't *BACKPACK* like a hard-core backpacker would have - though the author and her BFF didn't technically backpack, they didn't travel via Limo or private car either. It didn't take away from the story one way or another, as I found myself laughing/howling so loud the dog chose to stay out in the snow versus listening to me. A fun read that's blissfully free of sex or drugs - just lots of one woman adventuring outside her country and outside her comfort zone. Can't wait to snag her other books!
