Book overview

Travel begins long before you board a plane.

 

The most meaningful journeys are not measured in miles but in moments of courage.

Lisa Stone took a chance and booked a solo vacation to Hawaii when she was in her twenties. She has traveled to more than one hundred countries and had wonderful adventures learning to cook Sri Lankan cuisine, drinking horse's milk in Kazakhstan, and surviving an unforgettable bathroom debacle on Lithuania's Pink Soup Train. Along the way, she has learned how to pack strategically, plan efficiently, and adapt quickly.

 

Part travel memoir and part practical guide, Coming Home Changed combines stories from her travels with practical lessons to help you travel smarter, safer, and with greater confidence. She shares the cultural surprises, unexpected friendships, and humorous mishaps that challenged her and ultimately changed her. And along the way, you will discover that travel isn't just about seeing the world. It's about seeing yourself through it.

 

Because in the end, the greatest journeys don't just take you to new places; they bring you home changed.
