Nikki Vargas (authornikkivargas) | 15 comments Hi Librarians!

I'm hoping to update the description for my book to include some of the early praise and reviews rolling in. It looks like only librarians can make this change, would it be possible to please update it to the below. Thank you!

“Colorful, vivid storytelling…for anyone looking for a road to reinvention." 
—Kristin Newman, author of What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding

“A sweet ode to pursuing your passions, Vargas' journey is relatable and heartfelt."
- Glamour Magazine

Named one of the best women's memoirs to read in 2023 by Glamour Magazine, this soul-stirring travel memoir from Colombian immigrant, Fodor's Travel editor, and travel writer, Nikki Vargas, takes readers around the world on this inspiring journey of love, loss, self-discovery, career evolution, and growth.

Calling off her wedding, quitting her job, and chasing her passion around the globe, CALL YOU WHEN I LAND follows Nikki’s coming-of-age story and the ups and downs that define a young woman navigating her twenties. Readers are transported to far-flung places like the wilds of Borneo, the river boats of India, and the plains of Africa—all in vivid detail. Between wanderlust and self-revelation, Nikki confronts unexpected twists and turns, from launching the first feminist travel publication, Unearth Women, to investigating a mysterious family murder in Colombia, to navigating new love and sordid affairs.

Told in transporting detail and candid reflections, CALL YOU WHEN I LAND takes the familiar story of a woman going abroad to find herself and turns it on its head, as the act of traveling becomes, for Nikki, an exhilarating career path  – and ultimately a tool to champion women’s voices across the world.


*More Praise for CALL YOU WHEN I LAND*

“Witty and incisive, Vargas captures the universal quest to learn who we are, what we want, and how much baggage we can afford to carry. Call You When I Land reads like an over-due catch-up with your most audacious girlfriend.”
—Alicia Menendez, MSNBC anchor & author of The Likeability Trap


“Like the planes she watches as a little girl, Vargas' story soars, a tender and thrilling voyage of self-discovery. Her far-flung adventures and moments of revelation will leave readers with full hearts (and possibly, packed suitcases).”
—Nicole C. Kear, author of Now I See You: A Memoir


"In this unflinchingly raw tale of self-discovery, infused with the lushest wanderlust-inducing descriptions, Vargas transparently takes you along on her vulnerable, messy, and courageous journey towards self-love, living your true calling and the bravery it requires of you. This memoir is a true testament to showing up fully as yourself in this world."
—Lola Akinmade Åkerström, author of In Every Mirror She's Black


"Inspiring for anyone who is questioning whether or not to stick with the status quo or take a leap of faith!"
–Jessica Nabongo, author of The Catch Me If You Can


"The author’s sincere and passionate voice renders the book supremely readable...An entertaining memoir by a globe-trotting writer with a promising career still ahead of her." 
- Kirkus Reviews
