Like we should all be so lucky to be able to escape our hectic, well-paid lifestyles in Manhattan and travel the world looking for the meaning of life (and a hot dude). Not that we’re judging (it sounds pretty nice, actually). We just think that there are more deserving memoirs that should get a film deal.
