“In an intimate tone that is immediately absorbing, Bensen recounts her relationship with her newly found boyfriend Jeff…. Readers will be hooked by their free-spirited trip, which serves as a gazetteer to their deepening relationship.

—Library Journal
"Readers intrigued as much by modern romance as by world travel will appreciate this thrilling travelogue of an erratic relationship and the landscape of ancient and modern Europe."
—Booklist
"Bensen's story of an unexpected—and at times magical—romance that developed from a chance online encounter is charming. Yet it is also insightful for the author's observations about the conflicting desires for freedom and commitment that are the hallmarks of modern romance. An engaging memoir of travel, love, and finding oneself."
