“It’s witty, gritty, and full of fun. Kika learns there’s adventure wherever one might travel – even if it means staying in one place. All the description makes you taste adventure and want to experience one for yourself.”
-Buzzfeed

“Though it is a fun, humorous read, ‘Girls Who Travel’ also touches on the dueling metaphorical implications of travel itself–travel as escape, travel as discovery–for growing up. Coming-of-age, that tidy, overused phrase, might just be something that never stops.”
-Bostonia Magazine

“[A] tantalizing beach read you won’t be able to put down”
–Self Magazine
