"Papp begins this travel-memoir-turned-spiritual-guidebook by dissecting the word mystical, making it clear that this account of her travels through Europe is meant to offer readers more than just her own adventure tale….Above all, the book is entertaining, and Papp's enthusiasm is inspiring."
Anna Jedrziewski
"In this mix of travel guide and inspirational how-to, [Papp] shares her tips, both practical and mystical, for making it happen. With an instructive, almost conspiratorial tone, Papp comes across like a close friend advising the reader on how to follow in her footsteps….her infectious enthusiasm will encourage readers to go out into the wide world to find what they carry inside."
Bridget Thoreson
"Papp's youthful viewpoint stands out in a field more given to midlife reckonings....her story conveys her open-mindedness about all that she encounters....[Papp's] voice of youth is refreshing."
