Jenifer Bubenik discusses her novel Thoughts from the Chicken Bus
Reeling from the loss of her relationship and burnt out
from her high-stress politico job, Jenifer Bubenik grabbed her resignation
letter off the printer and walked into her boss' office. Unaware of where to go
next, and stuck in a funk, she logged online and cashed in her airline miles to
book a ticket to Belize, unaware of where the country was really even located;
simply knowing that nine days from then her life would be transformed from
depression and desperation to sunshine and umbrella drinks. Armed with little
more than hiking boots and pepper spray, the 29 year old set out solo to Central
America; with the goal to push her job and relationship out of her mind. What
began as a three-week restorative breathing trip soon ended up as a three-month
adventure through the back jungles, active volcanoes, and desolate beaches far
beyond the safety-net of Belize.
Jenifer Bubenik grew up in Texas and North Carolina. She is a graduate of
Appalachian State University and lives in San Diego. Thoughts From the Chicken Bus is her first novel. Prior to writing this book, she worked in
government relations.
