Fulton Books author Melissa Kittrell, a project manager for submarines in the Pacific Fleet, the owner of Bushel and Barrel Ciderhouse, has completed her most recent book "My Wanderlust Diaries": a beautiful read about an amazing life traveling across the globe and is her contribution to kindred spirits that live life by a compass and not a rule book.
Kittrell shares, "When Melissa started her wanderlust with an impromptu solo backpacking trip to India, her only goal was to heal a broken heart. She had no idea the impact of just buying a plane ticket would have as the trip set into motion a decade's worth of adventure and an untamable wanderlust. She learned through many adventures the importance of taking advantage of opportunities and not wasting the most precious commodity in the world—time. By traveling solo, she exploited the empty space between herself and strangers and recognized the energy and power of making friends on the road as she navigated crazy obstacles and curveballs in foreign lands.
From the beaches of Southeast Asia to the wild jungles of Africa, she looked for adventure across the globe and found it in abundance. The book endeavored to open up Pandora's box of what adventures await the curious soul and to show the reader that anything is possible with a little grit and gumption. The book combines vivid descriptions of exotic places with wild and funny misadventures from a solo female that had nothing to lose but everything to gain from living life at the edge of her comfort zone. This compilation of travel diaries strives to not only acknowledge the beauty and culture of the different places around the globe but to also relate the excerpts into messages that also feeds the soul and relates to the human psyche."
Published by Fulton Books, Melissa Kittrell's book holds one's personal travel experience exploring the never-ending greatness of the bigger world. This work carries the heart and soul of a traveler as she finds meaning with losing herself in places and culture this enormous world has to offer.
Readers who wish to experience this thrilling work can purchase "My Wanderlust Diaries" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes & Noble.
