In this autobiographical narrative, the author gives an account of the year-long trip she went on following a difficult divorce. There are three stages to her journey of personal growth, corresponding to three countries. As such, in the first months the young woman discovers culinary pleasures in Italy, before learning yoga and the art of meditation in India. Finally, in Indonesia she manages to find the balance she previously lacked. More than a journey through these three countries, the author undertakes a journey into herself. Once this quest for identity has been completed, she manages to regain her calm and open her heart to love.
