A retired school teacher takes the chance of a lifetime to live abroad and become a world traveler. Out of My Comfort Zone chronicles the travels and discoveries of life as a single, 50-something woman traveler whose independence will inspire you to get out and see the world. After prayer and providence motivate Carol to retire from teaching in Colorado, she moves to Berlin for two years of new experiences and the start of lifelong friendships. Her observations on living and teaching in a new culture are shared in a charming and personal tone as a series of emails to a friend back home. Although while abroad she often notices that she is a rarity, an American woman traveling alone, her courage never falters and each experience is here to be shared with you. The list of countries she visits in those two years is too long to list and too surprising to resist. Those who know her hear her voice in every page and you will too.
