Are you someone whose feet itch with the desire to explore? Who feels the allure of the open road, the whisper of faraway lands, and the thrill of new horizons? If so, immerse yourself in Sprinkled with Wanderlust: My Life Traveling and Hoboing and find your adventurous spirit rekindled.

Betty ""Connecticut Shorty"" Moylan isn't just another traveler; she's a testament to a life unfettered by convention. In this riveting memoir, she chronicles her life as the daughter of Tim ""Connecticut Slim"" Moylan, a legend in the hobo realm. But Betty didn't just inherit a legacy; she carved her own path. By 1992, she was an emblem of the free-spirited traveler, crowned as both the First Hobo Princess of the Road and the National Queen of the Hobos.

Journey with Betty as she traverses the heart of America in a motorhome, alongside her fearless sister, Maggie. Feel the wind in your hair as she shares tales of riding over 5,000 miles on freight trains, a thrill only a few dare to experience. Be it the serene landscapes of 50 US states, the bustling energy of 19 foreign countries, or the soothing dance of birds in the wild, her tales are as diverse as they are captivating.

Beyond just tales of adventures, this book is a beacon, illuminating the path for those who yearn for more than just the everyday. It's a clarion call to embrace the unknown, to live without confines, and to always, always follow where your heart leads.

Sprinkled with Wanderlust isn't just a memoir; it's a key. A key to unlock your own adventurous spirit, to inspire your next journey, and to remind you that the world is vast, waiting, and wonderfully unpredictable. Dive in and let your wanderlust soar."
