Author Bio
After running several
successful businesses, Lori Osterberg decided it was time to reinvent herself
once again. Facing an empty nest and too much normal suburbia lifestyle in
front of her, she talked her husband into selling off their 3300 square foot home,
sell two-thirds of their stuff, all for the chance to slow travel the world.
When not traveling, she finds a friend or two to share a good bottle of wine,
visits tea factories, dances the night away at outdoor concerts, eats her way
through farmers markets, and daydreams about the next set of characters she
lives vicariously through. She’s currently writing books and living the dream
in the Pacific Northwest.

“Is
this for real?” She looked at the woman with a skeptical eye.
“Yes,
it is. Ever heard of TravelVentures magazine?”
“Yes,
I read it all the time.”
“I’m
Ann Mathison, VP of Travel Experiences with TravelVentures magazine.” Ann moved
her hand forward and grabbed Jena’s in return. “We’re setting up our
Destination Roulette game in cities all across America. We’re offering people
the chance of a lifetime. But only if you’re willing to drop everything and
leave right now.”
Ann
moved so she was more centered in front of the game board. Jena followed,
continuing to watch the rotating cities. “You hit the button right here, and
the board will randomly select one of our dream destinations. You can’t decide
after you play; you must decide before you hit the button. If you’re willing to
play, the location comes up. We give you the ticket, send you to the gate, and
you’ll be on your way in a matter of minutes. Stay there for a week and have
the time of your life. We have guides and itineraries lined up, but you have the
freedom to choose and experience things in your own timeframe.”
Ann
gave Jena just a moment to think about it. Then, “So I’ll ask again, do you
want to play?”
“Come
on Jena.” Kris was growing frustrated.
Jena
heard Kris in the back of her mind. But she heard others too, including the
tiny little voice deep inside that said, “Do it. Come on, what have you got to
lose? I’d do it in a heartbeat.”
What
did she have to lose? She had more vacation time on the books than she’d ever
use. Justin wasn’t coming home this weekend anyway, so all she would do is
sleep and do laundry. Maybe watch a little television.
This
would be a true vacation to some place new. Well, hopefully new. She watched
the cities as they passed by. All were locations she’d added to her bucket list
at some time or another. She always thought she’d experience them with Justin,
but maybe this is just what she needed to improve her outlook on life.
Jena turned to
her friend. “Kris, I’m going to do it.” She turned back to Ann. “Okay, I’ll play.”
