"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. Explore. Dream. Discover. -Mark Twain"

To live, not merely exist, is something that older folks would advise you to do in your prime. Instead of truly living life, experiencing new things, and creating lasting memories, a large number of individuals are just getting by, working, and paying their expenses. In Bluewater Walkabout, Tina Dreffin describes her travels to and experiences in Africa. The author claims that she first had this desire to see the world in a Cuban Cafe in Fort Lauderdale. Tina used to be obsessed with finding work, making ends meet, and purchasing a new vehicle. She keeps being sexually assaulted while working as a commercial real estate broker, so she never gets this. Tina was aware that something was missing from her life.

Her life changed the moment she met her spouse, Peter. On their yacht, Scud, they have been traveling the world together. They are embarking on a new expedition, which they are calling the South Pacific Expedition, with her husband, two sons, Adam and Warren, and her sons' friends, Sam and Gary. Discover the locations they visited, the risks they faced, and how Tina was healed on their voyage.

I'd want to start by praising the author's bravery and determination in sharing her trauma narrative. She still dares to come out despite what some people have said. Although she cannot save the world, she has increased public awareness of the problem of widespread rape and sexual assault. Who knows? With her road toward healing, the author might have helped someone. I adore the way Tina takes her audience on a journey with her. She gives detailed descriptions of every scenario, setting, incident, and action. I find myself wishing I could go on an adventure someday.

Second, I learned a few things from this book, which is one of the things most people read. Tina and her husband have a wonderful relationship. Marriage should enhance your life, not take away from it. She is an over-thinker, which is evident in this novel, so I enjoy how Peter brings out more of her adventurous side and helps her relax. She certainly has that as a big blessing. The author also advised her audience not to run from their sorrows and pasts. It may be challenging, but facing that sorrow and bad history is the greatest way to get over it. To get through it, we can ask for assistance. Excellent work, author! I give this 4 out of 4 stars because of these factors.

There was nothing about this story that I disliked. Both reading and learning are enjoyable. There were a few mistakes in that. It's been edited professionally. The novel has a few instances of the use of vulgar language. Even yet, it doesn't stop me from enjoying the book.

To every rape survivor, I'd recommend this. In their most hopeless moments, Tina's recovery process might provide them comfort. Additionally, it is appropriate for individuals who hope to explore the world in the future. Here are some location suggestions.

Sometimes disappointment could lead to blessings. The case is for Tina, she was in a place where she was sexually assaulted, but when she took the bold step to leave her job, she got to do things she had always wanted to do, and in the process lived her life to the fullest, not just merely existing but living.

Tina’s life is like a plot twist to me. Good that she decided to leave her job and also, thank goodness she received that call from her brother because it led her to safe haven.

The book made me understand that not all things will work our way, as we could see clearly in Tina’s life. I so much love their adventures. It was amazing.
