The Unorthodox Vagabond

She left California expecting expansive connection and clarity. Instead, she found grief, synchronicity, loneliness, awkward encounters, and a radically different relationship with uncertainty. Geneviève S. Fulton thought putting her belongings in storage and leaving the San Francisco Bay Area for the UK and Europe as a fully remote worker might offer stability. The psychotherapist discovers that what unfolds is far less tidy: disorientation, and the slow unravelling of certainty, where humor becomes a way of navigating emotional terrain. This is not a conventional travel memoir, but a reflection on finding one’s voice across cultural and emotional layers. It explores how people behave, regulate, attach, and perform when familiar structures fall away and life is no longer anchored. As routines dissolve, something else becomes visible: the quiet intelligence of not knowing. Both personal and reflective, The Unorthodox Vagabond is for readers drawn to travel writing, psychology, and the kinds of inexplicable encounters that linger just beyond explanation. If you have ever wondered whether coincidence carries meaning, this book stays with you long after the final page.Geneviève S.
