Travel Library - Queen of the Road

Queen of the Road by Dorren Orion. "The True Tale of 47 States, 22,000 milles, 200 Shoes, 2 Cats, 1 Poodle, a Husband, and a Bus with a Will of Its Own."

Looking for a light summer read that makes you yearn for adventure? Pick up the Queen of the Road and you will find yourself laughing out loud on page one and inspired by about page 95. When I say this book will make you "yearn for adventure," I not necessarily referring to rock climbing or parachuting out of airplanes. I am speaking about a more terrifying adventure such as tossing all of your fancy belongings, renovating a 1998 Prevost bus, and traveling around the country in an attempt to rectify a midlife crisis. Queen of the Road is a testament that a crazy idea can not only be made into reality but it can change you for the better. This book is a travelogue of one couple, completely clueless about the open road, trying to get themselves from one coast to another as well as everywhere in between. The challenges and mishaps that this couple faces at the onset of their journey are entirely relatable not to mention hysterical. As their journey comes to a close, you too will feel the same nostalgia that they felt. Before you are even done with the book, I guarantee that you will be looking forward to your next midlife crisis and the adventures that it will bring.
