Books like The good girl's guide to getting lost by Rachel Friedman

After college, Rachel Friedman—an academically successful, risk‑averse young woman—finds herself stalling before major life decisions. In a spontaneous act, she purchases a ticket to Ireland, a country she has never visited. There, she encounters an Aussie adventurer whose carefree outlook and love of exploration ignite Rachel’s latent curiosity. Together, they set out on a year‑long odyssey that spans three continents, taking Rachel to the landscapes of Ireland, the distant shores of Australia, and the vibrant cultures of South America. The journey forces Rachel to leave her comfort zone, forging enduring friendships and cultivating an unexpected passion for travel. Confronted with new challenges and diverse environments, she discovers and embraces a deeper sense of self, ultimately learning to live in the moment rather than merely planning for the future.
