Aloha!
I hope to meet some new people here and find more great stuff to read!
I've recently published my first book (on sale on Amazon Kindle for $1.99). It is a travel/adventure/humor book.
I freaked out a bit when I turned 40, bought a one-way ticket to Mexico, and fumbled my way around Central America, Cuba, Australia and SE Asia for nine months. I encountered crocodiles, two hurricanes, a wildfire, one erupting volcano, and plenty of crazy animals while scuba diving. I rented a car with a Russian woman I met in Guatemala and drove across Cuba. Good stuff.
There are some sample chapters on my website http://www.wanderwithmelissa.com.
