This book chronicles the journey of a young mother who decides to take time out of her busy schedule for a solo trip - to embark on a journey of self-discovery, single handedly blazing through the beautiful towns and countryside of Serbia. Unexpectedly she meets an elderly lady who just so happens to be the owner of the rental she books for herself. The lady, doesn’t just open her up to newer experiences in life, but also bestows her with a feeling of reception towards life experiences, tangible or intangible. Life is never the same again for her. From being a self-acclaimed workaholic, to frolicking through the streets of Serbia. This journey has shaped her to become a varied version of herself that she never knew existed. This book will relay closer, if not similar emotions for the readers as well. Follow her as she goes along to build a home in a land so foreign to her!

Rose has always played by the rules – now it's time to break them. Life's easier when you stay away from other people. Rose Valentine knows that. But some people are impossible to ignore. Take Theo Lockhart. He's handsome, funny and beyond intriguing. He's a mystery; one that Rose dreams of solving. Then one night the mystery deepens. Theo turns up on Rose's doorstep, desperate to hide out at her house. He's keeping secrets, and Rose has a million questions. Not least – why did he choose to run to her? If Rose lets him in, she'll be going against everything she holds true. It's reckless, risky – and definitely not in the rulebook. But Theo makes Rose long to break the rules. After a whirlwind week of brat-pack movies, midnight snacks and non-stop chat, where do Rose and Theo go from here?

Over the past seven years I've lived in more places than I can remember. I lived and worked in Shanghai, New York, Berlin, Bangkok, Munich and a few more places, not including the dozens of places I've stayed at for just a few days or weeks.While writing these lines I'm in a small town in Malaysia.I've basically lived out of a backpack for the past seven years. And the longer I'm doing this, the less stuff I need. Right now I carry less than 10 items around with me in a carry on backpack that weighs less than 10kg. I go wherever I want to go. I currently spend less than $800 a month. Including everything. My most precious possession is a $300 Acer laptop.I've started a clothing company in China, for the Chinese market, which failed miserably. I've launched more than 10 websites, some of them made some money, some of them didn't. I shut down all of them. I've written seven books (this is my eighth). None of them was a bestseller. I write a blog where I published more than 500 articles so far. I've more than 100,000 monthly readers spread across multiple platforms.I'm by no means successful. Or rich. But I have more than enough, by all means. I have access to everything I need. And I can buy and afford everything I need.I'm not a minimalist. Or a digital nomad. Or an entrepreneur. Or a blogger. Or an author.I'm mostly trying to just be myself. I'm trying to be myself in a world where it gets harder and harder every single day to just be yourself.It's not always been easy. As a matter of fact it's probably been hard more often than it's been easy. But every day of struggle and doubt has been worth it. Being yourself and creating your own life instead of just living a life is always worth the struggle.This right here is my story. This is what I've learned about life, myself and the world around me.I'm everywhere and nowhere. And I own nothing and everything...
