Hear Travel Tales, Insights, and Misadventures at the LBI Branch of the Ocean County Library

SURF CITY – Writer, traveler, and artist Jill DeFelice will share her insights, misadventures and love of travel during “A Battered Suitcase and a Sense of Humor” at 1 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 9 at the Long Beach Island Branch of the Ocean County Library.

Imagine packing up two toddlers and a barrage of suitcases and moving halfway around the world to a country where no one speaks English and nothing is familiar. Then imagine this crazy adventure for over 20 years! Jill DeFelice will discuss the hilarious and challenging life as an expatriate in China, Russia, and Poland. Questions from the audience will be welcome.
