About the Book:
Perfect Unfolding is a thought-provoking travel memoir about a woman who trades her dream home and fourteen-year firefighting career for the freedom and possibility of the open road.
Living off-grid in an Airstream, migrating with the seasons without a plan, Kristy discovers the most challenging wilderness isn’t outside her windows. It’s within. From exploring Arctic shores with an Indigenous guide to hiking the desert canyons of the American West, she navigates not just unmarked roads, but the unmapped territory of living on her own terms.
Perfect Unfolding weaves together three transformative journeys: adventures across breathtaking landscapes where survival awakens true resilience; a mother-daughter bond that transcends distance and past hurts; and an unexpected romance that challenges everything she thought she knew about love.
This raw and refreshingly honest story of self-discovery speaks to anyone who has felt the pull of something bigger—a life beyond expectation, beyond fear, beyond the safe and predictable. You’ll ride in the passenger seat as Kristy navigates the universal tension between following society’s script and surrendering to the unknown.
Perfect Unfolding is an invitation:
How far will you go to find the life that’s calling?
About the Author
If “normal” is a way of being, I am not that. Back in 2017, I sold my house and almost everything I owned, and hit the road.
Without meaning to, I sent myself on a modern-day walkabout. I’ve migrated with the seasons while living off-grid in my 2002 Airstream trailer ever since.
My first career was mechanical engineering, but sitting at a desk was not my jam. So I followed a deeper calling and became a firefighter/paramedic, a role I enjoyed for fourteen years. I founded my mentoring and coaching practice in 2015. That started as a fun side gig, and grew into a full time passion. Then one day, I knew it was time to set out on a grand adventure. (Read the book to find out how that’s going!)
Since hitting the road, work and fun have intermingled. A common thread is helping people realize who they truly are and live their dreams without sacrificing happiness along the way. My word to describe this simple, fun, and beautiful way to live is “coddiwomple”—to live in wonder, embrace the unknown, and trust Life while waking up to the complete freedom available to us all.
As for writing, I’ve been telling stories for as long as I can remember. I was first published at fourteen in the local newspaper. My blog and monthly newsletter have been entertaining and touching readers for almost ten years. Online publications have featured my articles, essays, and life/travel tips. For several years, I’ve been a regular columnist for the Blue Beret magazine. Perfect Unfolding is my first book.
