Passport, Panties & Other Essentials – A Sexy, Smart, and Soulful Journey of a Woman Starting Over in Italy

She packed panties, a passport, and a vibrator. But nothing prepared her for desire, detours… and delicious rediscovery.

At 42, Beatriz had it all figured out: career success, a spotless apartment in São Paulo, and emotional detachment that kept chaos at bay. Sex? Scheduled. Love? Overrated. Adventure? Only if fully planned and insured.

But when her ex-husband’s new girlfriend tags her in one too many “divine feminine” posts and a Zoom meeting nearly sends her into a spiral of existential dread, Beatriz does the unthinkable — she books a one-way ticket to Italy.

Armed with a journal, a suitcase full of contradictions, and a vibrator named Sofia, she embarks on a solo journey through Rome, Florence, and the seductive unknown. What begins as an escape turns into a slow unraveling of every rule she ever followed.

Passport, Panties & Other Essentials is a witty, steamy, and emotionally charged romantic adventure about what happens when a woman stops asking permission — from the world, from men, from herself — and starts saying yes.
