What happens when you throw yourself into the unknown with nothing but a backpack and a broken heart?

Back in 2013, I boarded a plane with a round-the-world ticket. After a devastating breakup followed by increasing anxiety and disconnection in London, I thought I was simply escaping. But I was about to embark on a journey that would crack me open, piece by piece, continent by continent.

This memoir follows my solo adventure through the lens of the chakra system that I was learning about at the time. These seven energy centres govern everything from our sense of security and self-worth to our ability to speak our truth.

My journey began in India and would take me to Thailand, Malaysia, Bali, Australia, New Zealand and South America. Each destination became a classroom, every challenge a teacher, as I learned to trust my body's wisdom more than my overactive mind.

This memoir shows that the most profound journeys happen in the courage to keep moving forward - especially when we don't know where we're going.
