Two O'Clock on a Tuesday at Trevi Fountain: A Search for an Unconventional Life Abroad -- Helene Sula, Hardcover

"An inspiring yet relatable read for anyone ready to stop settling." --Nina Ruggiero, Travel + Leisure

In this inspiring travel memoir--the antidote to the "just quit your job and ditch all your belongings to backpack the world" mentality--a young woman explores how she took calculated risks to follow her dreams: traveling and living abroad without sacrificing stability and comfort.

Like many young professionals, Helene settled into a steady 9-5, watching the clock tick by and dreaming of seeing the world one day. But after a climbing accident leaves her bedbound for months, she finds a new voice connecting with others online and starts a blog to write about her true passion: travel. When her blog takes off and a sponsored trip overseas opens her eyes, she wonders: could she lead a stable life while traveling the world?

From skinny dipping in the icy Baltic and hiking Germany's storied Black Forest, to wrestling with visa applications and apartment hunting in medieval Heidelberg, Helene shares the realities--both the magical and the mundane--that come with chasing bold dreams and learning that home is where you make it. For those who fear change, the secret lies in taking calculated risks.

Uplifting yet candid, this travel memoir will inspire others to take chances and transform their own lives. But you don't have to uproot your life to find meaning--just have the heart to take a leap.

About the Author
After breaking her ankle and leg rock climbing, Helene Sula started a blog that set her on a path she never dreamed possible: she became a travel content creator with a hugely popular website and social media account, "Helene in Between." Helene quit the corporate world and packed up two suitcases, two dogs, and she and her husband moved from Dallas, Texas to Heidelberg, Germany--a country she'd never stepped foot in. The purpose was to travel Europe, write about her travels, and encourage others to live out their dreams. Now, she's living in Oxford, United Kingdom and is continuing to blog and travel through Europe. Helene has a passion for photography and capturing the moment. She has helped 1,000s of other creators and small business owners build and grow their brand through tried and tested strategies she learned while working in digital brand strategy, social media marketing, and advertising. Helene has been featured on national and international TV, radio, and in Business Insider for the growth of her blog and online presence.
