Rayssa Paysano rayssapaysano — ¡No fue exactamente lo que esperaba, pero aún así fue una lectura agradable!

Julio Cesar blipart — So read the title to this book... then forget it. The title is completely misleading, as it makes the reader believe she is picking up one more book about the romance and fulfillment of world travel. This book is not about love, not about malaria, and not about a peace corp "poster boy." BUT, this book is excellent, and it is excellent precisely because it is crude and honest and not worried about romanticizing the experience. In an age of literature filled with divorcees finding themselves while riding on elephants, this book is starkly realistic, crude, and, well, hilarious. Brown-Waite is self-depreciating, and the reader benefits largely from it. Having traveled much myself, I can attest to the fact that it is often dirty, frustrating, hot, full of bugs, and most good memories are tinged with memories of traveler's diarrhea. For once these issues are addressed, and hilariously so. To be clear, the first chapter is rather lovey-dovey, but after that, Brown-Waite's honesty is so very refreshing, and she has this great way of making the fulfillment the travel brings her seem like like a mixed blessing. You can feel her smile as she assimilates in Ugandan culture, but at the same time know that she feels awkward and out-of-place, and would very much enjoy being back in the States with a "normal" job and life. Among travel lit, a must read.
