EVA MELUSINE THIEME was born in Germany and has since moved across the world seven times, lugging progressively more stuff and family members along the way. She has a business degree from a German university too difficult to pronounce and an MBA from UNC Chapel Hill. After three adventure-filled years in Africa she now lives in Brentwood, TN, where she dedicates her time to her freelance writing career while often reminding her children to pick up their rooms. Eva's award-winning travel memoir Kilimanjaro Diaries: Or, How I Spent a Week Dreaming of Toilets, Drinking Crappy Water, and Making Bad Jokes While Having the Time of My Life was published in March 2014 and subsequently translated into German. Both editions have become Amazon bestsellers in African travel literature. She is also the founder of Joburg Expat, a widely-read blog chronicling her family's life in Johannesburg, South Africa. Her articles on expat living, travel, and parenting have been published in numerous publications, such as the Wall Street Journal, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, and SA People. Her other accomplishments include surviving three years in "the world's most dangerous place," having grasped the difference between "just now" and "now now" as expressions of South African time, and - so she likes to think - remaining sane with four teenagers in the house.

I felt the exhaustion and camaraderie along the way, sharing each day's challenges and pleasures. I saw the rainforest at the lowest elevation and the "bleak but sunlit alpine desert" as they climbed higher; I always felt the terrain beneath my feet... A funny, wry, and moving account..." - Bacon on the Bookshelf "I love [the author's] no-nonsense style of writing. She doesn't mince words and she's not concerned about political correctness. She's not afraid to call herself a housewife, for example, and she's not afraid to discuss the existence of "toilet apartheid" on Kilimanjaro... She simply tells the story in an interesting, engaging, funny way." - 2Summers "Over the past year of preparing for my trip, I've read countless Kilimanjaro articles, blog posts, books, etc. And by far, yours has been the best." - Bryan Alsop, prospective Kili trekker
