What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding
Kristin NewmanKristin Newman spent much of her twenties and thirties buying dresses to wear to her friends' weddings and baby showers. Not ready to settle down and in need of an escape from her fast-paced job as a sitcom writer, Kristin instead travelled the world, often alone, for several weeks each year. In addition to falling madly in love with the planet, Kristin fell for many attractive locals, men who could provide the emotional connection she wanted without costing her the freedom she desperately needed. Kristin introduces readers to the Israeli bartenders, Finnish poker players, sexy Bedouins, and Argentinean priests who helped her transform into "Kristin-Adjacent" on the road – a slower, softer, and, yes, sluttier version of herself at home.
“Newman describes the exotic locales as lushly as she does her companions, taking armchair travellers to Iceland, Australia, and Israel and sharing some of her travel snafus… Newman adeptly mixes humour and heart, making this the perfect read for anyone in search of love, adventures abroad, or both." - Kristine Huntley KRISTIN NEWMAN is a travel writer and television writer/producer who has worked in Hollywood for over twenty years.
