Talk Travel – No Return Ticket – Author Andi Crockford

Ever dream of buying a one-way ticket and just traveling? Andi Crockford did more than dream, she did it. This month, hear Andi regale us with tales from her book No Return Ticket. It is the story of “a two-year journey around the world: learning to live, love, and let go.”

According to Andi, “Mine is not a story of a “vacation.” It is not a narrative of beaches and pools and drinks with paper umbrellas. It is a chronicle of love, of indescribable joy, wet-my-pants laughter, and unspeakable tragedy. This is my account of leaving behind my comfortable life and—along with my husband and daughter—experiencing the world.”

No Return Ticket is a captivating read that made me feel like I was traveling with Andi and her family. Andi paints a wonderfully realistic picture of the world and what it is like to travel long-term. At this meetup, hear her share a couple stories from the book, as well as her motivation for traveling around the world. You can also ask questions about her travels and writing process.

Autographed copies of No Return Ticket will be available at the event. All attendees will also receive a BONUS chapter from Andi.

KWA takes small groups to Costa Rica and India. Their next great adventure is to travel the Pan American highway from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Ushuia, Argentina in a short bus she and Kevin renovated.
