The Lost Girls by Jennifer Baggett, Holly C. Corbett, and Amanda Pressner


On the brink of their 30s, three friends go “looking for insight into what to do next” in their lives.  During a ten day vacation in South America they start to fantasize about traveling the world together.  Once back in their fast-paced New York City careers, the round-the-world trip starts to become more and more a potential reality.  After much talk and planning Amanda, Holly, and Jennifer make the rather rebellious decision to ditch their jobs, boyfriends, apartments, and really any responsibilities to take a year-long trip to cross the globe.  From Peru to Cambodia to New Zealand and many countries in between the girls, writing in alternate chapters, reflect on ongoing arguments, brief hook-ups, maniacal cabbies, and the uncertainty of their futures.  I really enjoyed this book for the travel writing, I was constantly following the girls on Google Images, plus I found their 20-something uncertainty relatable.  Who doesn’t want to drop everything and explore the world?!  For those of you in a position to do so the Lost Girls have provided some ­help.
