Preventing malaria and dengue fever isn’t hard. When it’s time to close the book and open the door, I can embrace the adventures of my choice. I don’t have to worry about mosquitos choosing an adventure for me.

WanderLit Read: Life is Like a Walking Safari by Jill Paris
Life is Like a Walking Safari is not just a safari story, it’s a collection of short essays and stories. Each is fully encapsulated and able to stand alone. Not only did I love the humanity of Jill’s book. I loved how, with one voice, she wove between comedy, tragedy, adventure, and drama. From one story to the next and sometimes within one story, she never oversimplifies nor overcomplicates the inner human dialogue.
