Set in humanitarian disaster zones around the world, Tsunami and the Single Girl is the story of Krissy Nicholson's journey to become an aid worker and her (seemingly) never - ending search to find a soul mate. As a free - spirited traveller, Krissy - now almost thirty - needs her life to start taking shape. So how does a wild night on a dance floor in Vietnam land her a sought - after role in Oxfam working in emergency relief? And how does the excess of the expatriate scene, a string of Mr Wrongs and failed romances lead to self - discovery and ultimately self - fulfilment? Against the backdrop of adrenalin - fuelled disaster response, Krissy begins to understand the power of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Whether co - ordinating emergency relief work in - the - field, or trying to find love in all the wrong places, Krissy takes us on a heartfelt and surprising adventure.
