One-Way Ticket

Written by Suzanne Wentley

Narrated by Suzanne Wentley

For everyone who's dreamed of quitting their job, selling it all, and traveling the world, this memoir is for you!

With "One-Way Ticket," Author Suzanne Wentley, a digital nomad and professional journalist, invites the reader on five sensational years of non-stop international travel. It all begins ten years ago, when this thirty-something leaves behind her plush office job, fully furnished home, and stable community of friends. With her orange cat Penelope, she embarks on a thirty-two-foot sailboat and eventually earns her US Coast Guard captain's license.

Then, she divests down to a single backpack for more travels. She builds out a tiny home on wheels and eventually returns to the pack to continue her whirlwind adventure of a lifetime. It's the stuff dreams are made of, but Wentley's keen insights and colorful details show the real-life challenges of her rare and inspirational lifestyle. Throughout the Caribbean, South America, Oceania, and Asia, she learns how to work online, meets unforgettable friends, has her fair share of scares, dates more than her fair share of troublesome guys, and always figures out how to keep shining brightly.

"One-Way Ticket" is an inside look at what it's like to be a modern, international, solo female traveler. A true page-turner, it's packed with personality, wisdom, honest emotion, and creativity. She shows you how it can be done, day by day, as a trailblazer in the new reality of remote work. Wentley shares how she's always and never on vacation, from all over the world.

As readers discover, it's not easy to find yourself flying across the sky like a meteor. But it's possible—and a lot of fun.
