If you are tempted by the awakening of your own long-dormant wanderlust, Going Gypsy can serve as a primer. . . . The questions [Veronica] poses about 'what next' are relatable ones for all empty nesters. PBS's Next Avenue
Any parents who have gotten through the launching stage of life with their sense of adventure (and humor) intact deserve our attention. They got mine! If I could be on the road again and I guess we really all can this is how I'd do it. An empty nest just means the kids have learned to fly. How nice to know the parents can too! Lenore Skenazy, author of the book and blog Free-Range Kids
It's quite a talent to turn a midlife journey into compelling and amusing reading, and the authors of Going Gypsy clearly have that talent. There are as many smiles as miles in this unique travel memoir told in the voices of both halves of a newly nest-emptied couple. Veronica, especially, shares her internal struggle with genuine insight after all, she's been a very involved mother of three kids. Can a couple really just sell the nest and take off in an RV with hardly any plans? Seems so, and we lucky readers vicariously get to enjoy it all with them. Susan K. Perry, creativity blogger at PsychologyToday.com and author of Writing in Flow, Loving in Flow, and the empty-nest novel Kylie's Heel
Warm, funny, clever, and inspiring makes you see the fun in being empty-nested, whether you take to the road like David and Veronica or stay at home and reinvent your life with the sense of adventure they found on their journey. Linda F. Burghardt, PhD, author of The Happy Empty Nest
A thoroughly charming account of a romp across America and beyond by childhood sweethearts who discover life without children, rediscover the joy of thirty years together, and learn firsthand the magic of living with eyes wide open to the wonders of a new and independent life. Victoria Zackheim, editor of Faith: Essays by Believers, Agnostics, and Atheists
As soon as I read the dedication I was 'in,' and the rest did not disappoint. I found myself chuckling at every turn. Loved the writing style as well. Rayya Elias, author of Harley Loco
Veronica and David's story reminds us [that] when we set out in search of adventure what we really discover is ourselves. -Karen McCann, author of Adventures of a Railway Nomad
Charming and adventurous . . . Reading their book feels like they are sitting down with you and telling their hilarious adventures over a couple of smart cocktails. . . . A great book to read when you're on vacation. -Arthur Wooten, author, playwright, and creator of The Dizzy Traveler
