Chronicles of a Mermaid: Scuba Diving and Backpacking in Southeast Asia (Chronicles of a Motorcycle Gypsy, Book 3)

"The two things I’ve always feared most in life are drowning or being paralyzed. So, naturally, I started scuba diving and racing motorcycles.”Tiffani wanted a change when she left Los Angeles, but moving to Northwestern Montana for the winter might have been a bit too much of one. Six months of isolation, an absent partner, and endless snowfall was enough to send anyone spiraling into depression.As her heart and relationship held onto their last fraying threads, she made a rash decision to save them both. She quit her job, shoved her things into a backpack, and booked two one-way tickets to Thailand. She was going to become a scuba diver. She was going to try to salvage her relationship. And like a true mermaid, she was going to swim her way out of the blue hole she had drowned herself in while taking a journey through a sensational world within our vast oceans.So what if she didn’t know how to swim?Chronicles of a Mermaidstands alone as the third book in a series of travel memoirs, following the life of a young woman seeking adventure in spite of her clumsiness, anxiety, and fears.
