My Couch Was Getting Kinda Chatty: A Satirical Journal of Escapes (Real and Imagined) from the Great Indoors

Synopsis

Remember when the world collectively decided our sofas were the new global hotspots? *My Couch Was Getting Kinda Chatty* dives headfirst into the absurdity of being told to stay put, prompting a deep, and occasionally ridiculous, dive into why humans fundamentally need a change of scenery before they start talking to their houseplants. This satirical journal chronicles the internal (and sometimes external) escapades of a mind yearning for adventure when the furthest trip available was to the fridge. From wistful flashbacks to backpacking through Southeast Asia (complete with questionable street food and ill-advised scooter rentals) to pondering the deep philosophical differences between airline peanuts and actual snacks, this book is a humorous reflection on the vital role travel plays in keeping us sane. It's a nod to the resilience found in remembering past adventures, a chuckle at the challenges of enforced self-reflection, and a hopeful look towards future journeys. Whether you're a seasoned globetrotter missing the open road, someone who remembers the 80s like it was yesterday, or just anyone who realized during lockdown that their living room carpet was starting to look suspiciously like a map of boredom, this journal is for you.
