Chronicles of a Mermaid

Scuba Diving and Backpacking in Southeast Asia (Chronicles of a Motorcycle Gypsy, Book 3)

By: Tiffani Burkett

Narrated by: Tiffani Burkett

"The two things I’ve always feared most in life are drowning or being paralyzed. So, naturally, I started scuba diving and racing motorcycles.”

Tiffani wanted a change when she left Los Angeles, but moving to Northwestern Montana for the winter might have been a bit too much of one. Six months of isolation, an absent partner, and endless snowfall was enough to send anyone spiraling into depression.

As her heart and relationship held onto their last fraying threads, she made a rash decision to save them both. She quit her job, shoved her things into a backpack, and booked two one-way tickets to Thailand. She was going to become a scuba diver. She was going to try to salvage her relationship. And like a true mermaid, she was going to swim her way out of the blue hole she had drowned herself in while taking a journey through a sensational world within our vast oceans.

So what if she didn’t know how to swim?

Chronicles of a Mermaid stands alone as the third book in a series of travel memoirs, following the life of a young woman seeking adventure in spite of her clumsiness, anxiety, and fears. This chapter in her story will take you through three months of backpacking through Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan, with a sarcastic and self-deprecating sense of humor.

If you loved the exotic locales of Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love, the heartfelt personal conquest of Cheryl Strayed's Wild, and the scuba diving accounts of Jill Heinerth's Into the Planet: My Life as a Cave Diver, you'll love Chronicles of a Mermaid!

an interesting travel book

I've read her other book and enjoyed it. this one is just as good. she's a great story teller that has interesting perspectives on cultures and people. I am totally hooked on her books now

Another great travel adventure story

Thanks Tiffani for another great adventure book. I’ve motorcycled about 20,000 miles around the US & Canada including two trips on to/from AK. Scuba diving and visits to Japan are on my list. I’m always impressed with how you make it all happen.

Tiffany’s honesty

Easy to listen to. Her story is relatable. She writes from her heart and lets us see with her eyes.

REAL LIFE MERMAID

A little late to Tiffani's adventures, but Holy Hell what a straight shot honest account of navigating through life, travel and dare I say romance! A must read/listen for any woman with a sense of self deprecating humor.
