Irina Letyagina, at 26 years old, was a successful lawyer in a large consulting company, life was in full swing, but something was clearly missing. Everyone talked about how to live and how to live correctly, but no one said that you actually need to live the way you want. Having lost all desire to develop in law, leaving a prestigious university behind her and quitting her unloved job, Irina goes on a trip without a return ticket. And all just to find herself and find out which path is destined for her. The decision was difficult, but it was the one that radically changed the heroine’s entire future life. The trip turned out to be an incredible adventure, full of kind, helpful people, unusual acquaintances and unique experiences. Opening this book, we will go with the author on a year-long journey, but, ironically, we will not find summer anywhere. We will find out what couchsurfing means for a young girl, how to cross the Atlantic absolutely free in a team of yachtsmen, and what it’s like to hitchhike around Spain. We will also walk more than 1000 kilometers along the ancient pilgrim road leading through Europe to the Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela.
