From Dutch army barracks to the backroads of Asia, Central America, and far beyond, this is the story of one woman who swapped discipline and drills for backpacks and border crossings.

After ten years in the Royal Dutch Army, Kim set off in search of something bigger, wilder, and far less predictable.

What followed were twelve years on the road, nearly eighty countries, and more adventures, mishaps, and questionable food choices than any sensible person would recommend.

Told with sharp humour, raw honesty, and a healthy dose of self-inflicted chaos, this memoir captures the reality of life on the move. Not just the postcard moments, but the uncomfortable, ridiculous, and unexpectedly beautiful ones too.

Somewhere along the way, she also discovered a passion for photography, which would later earn her international awards. Proof that even poor decisions can occasionally lead to something impressive.

Perfect for anyone who has ever considered packing a bag and disappearing into the world, this travel memoir has grit, heart, and plenty of laughs.
