From a Malaysian penthouse overlooking the turquoise Strait of Malacca, to a miniscule, under-furnished apartment in West Hollywood, Kate and her husband Dave travel the world living in other people's houses. They tend to their gardens, sleep in their beds, and care for their pets. Along the way, other opportunities appear, and they follow: working and living in China, attending a wedding in Vietnam, and tracking wild animals in Indonesia. Eventually they buy a casita in Mexico that is nearly blown away in a hurricane, but they continue wayfaring, creating a web of connection with others throughout the world. In Wanderland, Kate explores how this unconventional lifestyle, launched upon her early retirement, makes her alternately free and unsettled-especially as she faces a dire medical emergency requiring surgery and the pandemic hits. All along the journey, she questions what "home" really means.FROM THE BBA "AUTHOR OF THE YEAR" AND THE WINNER OF THE BISEXUAL BOOK AWARD"With an eye for descriptive detail and the reflections that cause one to ponder definitions of home, Kate Evans leaves her heart in so many places. I didn't want Wanderland to end!" - Rev. Dr. Angela Yarber, author of Queering the American Dream"To be educated and entertained at the same time...this is the greatest gift of nonfiction literature. In Wanderland, Kate Evans adds another "e" for enlightenment, when she leads us to examine the chains forged by our possessions and how they deny us the opportunity for yet another "e": exploration." - Cathleen Miller, author of Champion of Choice and Desert Flower"Another fabulous life story from the ever-enchanting Kate Evans who seems to be living her nine lives. I love how she embraces the joy and flexibility of life on the road, housesitting, meeting up with friends, and jamming to her own beat. What an inspiration for anyone thinking of an untraditional path of nomad life and adventuring out into this beautiful world." - Chris Englert, EatWalkLearnKate Evans is the author of eight books, including Call It Wonder: An Odyssey of Love, Sex, Spirit & Travel, winner of the Bisexual Book Award for Best Memoir.
