If Your Dream Doesn't Scare You, It Isn't Big Enough - Kristine K. Stevens
Specialty Travel - A Solo Journey Around the World (272 pages - July 2013)
This Book does not end when the trip comes to an end. It continues on, showing how difficult it was for the author to return to her native culture and a traditional lifestyle because she had become a different person during her travels.
"Amazing book that is very-well written and adventurous and ambitious from start to finish. The author is truly talented and it's evident on each and every page due to how perfectly refined and executed the scenes are, the story made me want to jump right on a plane right after I had finished the book and experience some traveling adventures for myself." - Review

Carrying a backpack and the naïve belief that the trip was nothing more than a six-month-long vacation, she hit the road. As her journey moved on and off the beaten tourist path, she braved a monsoon in Zanzibar, a safari in Kenya, trekking in Nepal, kayaking in Thailand, caves in Laos, red plaid fish and lava in Hawaii, and grizzly bears in Alaska.
Little did Kristine know that she was completing a pilgrimage that would change her life forever.
Told with wonder, humor and suspense, with historical facts woven into the tale, "If Your Dream Doesn't Scare You, It Isn't Big Enough: A Solo Journey Around the World" captures the twisted, unpredictable nature of global travel.
About the Author

| Author Kristine K. Stevens |
"Travel gives me a sense of freedom and enlightenment," she says. "It frees me from the expectations of my own culture, and it shows me how intriguing and diverse life can be."
When her 40th birthday was approaching, she evaluated her life and ended up selling her house, quitting her job and traveling around the world. Her first book, "If Your Dream Doesn't Scare You, It Isn't Big Enough: A Solo Journey Around the World," tells the story of what happened during her adventure.
Kristine now works at the Savannah College of Art and Design as the senior web content manager. She continues to have a weak spot for Snickers bars, Pringles potato chips and Fanta Orange sodas, which were an integral part of the trip.
Although she thrives in Savannah, Georgia--despite its monstrous palmetto bugs, Kristine is plotting another global adventure, this time focusing on the Pacific Rim.
