You Deserve Good Gelato
In her inimitably funny and feel-good way, social media star Kacie Rose offers a refreshingly honest take on navigating a new life abroad in You Deserve Good Gelato, covering everything from travel fails and homesickness to the joy of culture shocks and the power of doing the s*** that scares you. Because life is too short not to.
Kacie decided to leave her life as a pro dancer in New York City and move to Italy in 2021 – and she never looked back. Okay, that isn’t strictly true…
In You Deserve Good Gelato, Kacie reflects on the pure terror of driving on Italian roads, the trials of speaking a new language (and getting it horribly, horribly wrong), and the genuine beauty of a slower pace of life, all with humour and heart. And by sharing her personal stories of life under the Tuscan sun, Kacie explains how travel is a privilege, why cultural differences are the coolest things in the world, and how there’s a positive you can take away from literally any situation.
You Deserve Good Gelato will have you buying that ticket and embracing this big, beautiful world that we all call home
“Even if you’ve followed me for a while, there is still so much you don’t know”
When the team at DK Eyewitness approached me and asked me how I felt about writing a book, I responded with, “it scares the shit out of me so that probably means I should do it”. And that’s exactly what this book is about: celebrating doing the shit that scares you, because life is just simply too short not to.
If you’ve followed me for a while on social media, you might think you’ve heard it all, but rest assured – there is SO much that you don’t know.
I share stories of somewhat cringy mistakes, embarrassing failures, triumphant wins, heartache that has left me in a ball on the bathroom floor, and all the lessons I’ve learned while traveling and living abroad that I’ve never talked about on social media before. They’re my stories, yes, but I wrote this book for YOU – so that no matter who you are or what you’re facing in life, you walk away feeling empowered to take the leap, even if you’re scared.
Why?
Because the most amazing things come from doing the sh*t that scares you – and you totally deserve those things.
