Reading this book made me realize how boring my life has been. I had a mixed feeling of pain and hope after reading this book. I felt pain because, at my present age, I have not had a thrilling and memorable adventure. I had a feeling of hope because Tina's story motivated me to get the most out of my life. I come from a continent with one of the most diverse and richest cultural heritages, and yet I have been confined to a particular region. If Tina, as a woman, could rise above all odds to make her dreams a reality, then I could do the same.

Bluewater Walkabout by Tina Dreffin is a nonfiction inspirational book. Tina tells us about the series of adventures she had across Africa. She describes her two children, Adam and Warren. Tina went on to describe how her addiction to adventure began. Over the years, the author and her family lived in South Carolina, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and more. The author went on to tell us about some of her struggles as a woman, which included the trauma of sexual assault and rape. Tina met Peter two years earlier when Peter's sister got married to Keith. Read on to find out more about Peter and Tina's relationship. The union of these lovebirds begins an exciting episode of adventure in Tina's life. Don't miss this book.

There are so many beautiful things about this book. The relationship between Tina and Peter sent chills down my spine. In a time when domestic violence is on the rise and there is so much exploitation and abuse going on in so many marriages, it was relieving to read a book of this kind. Marriage should be about supporting your spouse and helping him or her achieve their dreams. If not for an amazing man like Peter, most readers would have missed out on such an impactful book as this. This book was well edited. I could not find any errors in this book.

I did not come across any negative things about this book. This book is well written in a very simple and comprehensible form. The author's message was clear. This book is very capable of inspiring most women out there who are going through any form of difficulty or abuse. I love the colorful pictures, maps, and quote included in this book. It helped me have a wonderful reading experience as I went through this book.

I will rate this book five out of five stars. I recommend this book to all lovers of non-fiction, adventure, and family life books.

I enjoyed Tina’s journey across Africa with her family, especially when they were exploring the parks. Likewise, I like her relationship with her husband. He’s her safe place.

Such a wonderful journey for a wonderful story. From Tina's past to her present, the change is inspiring and memorable. Africa might not be everyone's choice for a vacation but she did spend hers well and this would surely last a lifetime. I enjoyed reading this review, especially as I've read the book.

This was a thriller that explores Tina's past and one of her wildest adventures which also sees us through the very rich culture of South Africa. This book was intriguing and the narrative pattern was amazing.

Tina Dreffin is such an inspiring woman and her story of courage and determination is truly inspiring. I'm so glad that she shared her story and I know that it will give many people the courage to live life to the fullest and do the things that they are scared of. Her story is definitely a must-read for anyone who is hesitant to take a bold step and live life as they want. Thanks for the review.
