Praise for Sand in my Bra

"These snappy travel stories bursting with candor and crackling humor are sure to leave readers feeling that to not have an adventure to remember is a great loss indeed. Sand in my Bra will light a fire under the behinds of, as the dedication states, 'all the women who sit at home or behind their desks bitching that they never get to go anywhere.'"
—Publisher's Weekly

"A collection of ridiculous and sublime travel experiences."
—San Francisco Chronicle

"Reading about someone else's troubles can be devastatingly funny. And so we have in this volume exotic settings, language-based miscommunication, and not-always-pleasant surprises as things do not always go as planned. Despite it all, our band of female travel writers laughs heartily, with pen, paper and laptop at the quick."
—Chicago Tribune

"The writers in Sand in my Bra revel in the absurdities of life away from home. F**k epiphanies; these are the sort of yarns that leave me itching to hit the road."
—BUST

"Hip chicks with a flair for storytelling share travel tales in Sand in my Bra. From reveling in the "freedom to be fat", in Tahiti to cycling topless at the Burning Man Festival in Nevada, the stories celebrate the unexpected joys of travel from a feminine perspective."
—Orlando Sentinel

"Good-natured women find the funny side of mishaps in places as far flung as the red-light district in Bangkok and a 50-pound sack race in small-town Nevada. There are plenty of laughs and—a side benefit—some handy warnings on what not to do when traveling."
—Portsmith Herald

"A delightfully entertaining look at atypical travel experiences."
—South Coast Beacon

Sand in my Bra supplies laughs as well as a quick fix for the homebound yearning for a quick walk on the wild side."
St. Petersburg Times

Opening Lines (Experimental)

We were sitting under a beat-up blue gazebo waiting for a panga boat to take us into the heart of Trinidad's Caroni Swamp. Tony, our driver, suddenly scowled at the hip young man smooching with his girlfriend on the bench across from ours.
"I can't stand to see a man wearing a earring!" he ...
