"If you are looking for an engaging travelogue filled with travel suggestions, RV tips and dos and don'ts - then I Sleep Around is it. With a humorous undertone at times, Sue Ann honestly writes about her dream of traveling solo and the challenges, both mechanically with her RV, and psychologically it has been. It's a rewarding tale of living her dream and sharing so others can do the same." - Kelli Harms, Marketing and PR Manager, Winnebago Industries
With no camping or RV experience, author Sue Ann Jaffarian decided to chuck her life in Los Angeles for a life on the road in a van. Newly retired from her long-time career as a paralegal, she got rid of most of her belongings, packed up her laptop, and embraced a new adventure of traveling the country and writing full-time, adding travel writing to her career as a popular mystery novelist.
Not always sunshine and unicorns, her experiences gave her more self-reliance, a new appreciation of nature, and a love for the quirky, interesting, and thought-provoking. I Sleep Around chronicles her first two years on the road and the time leading up to taking this bold step. All while her friends and family thought she had lost her mind.
"In I Sleep Around: The Humorous Memoir of a Nomadic Writer, Sue Ann Jaffarian invites us into a world where every sunrise brings a new zip code. This is not just a memoir; it's a revelation of freedom and self-discovery, crafted on the highways and byways of America. Imagine waking up each morning, not knowing if you're parked at a Walmart or nestled in a cozy campground, yet feeling profoundly at home in your van - a nurturing parent on wheels that carries, feeds, and shelters you. Jaffarian's story unfolds like a map, guiding us through a life lived in the slow lane, where the people and places she encounters shape her as surely as a potter's hands mold clay.
With the turn of each page, you're right there with her, navigating the quirks of RV living, from the practicalities of handling waste tanks to the philosophical musings of solitude and bravery. This isn't just a journey across the physical landscape but an odyssey of personal transformation and empowerment, particularly poignant for women stepping outside societal norms. Through laughter, loneliness, and the sheer unpredictability of the open road, Sue Ann Jaffarian shows us that sometimes the best way to find yourself is to get a little lost." - Tonya Kappes, USA Today Best Selling Author
