Candace Rose Rardon is a writer and sketch artist originally from the state of Virginia, although she has called the UK, New Zealand, and India home. Five years ago, she fell in love…but with the world, not “the one.” This journey has since taken her from a pearl farm in the South Pacific to a rickshaw run across India. Recently featured in the New York Times, her travel blog, The Great Affair, is all about seeking inspiration and opening yourself up to the possibilities that life offers.
What is this book about?

• Tea Bags vs. Loose Leaf
