Just as her friends were pairing off to get married and have babies, Kristin Newman took off to travel the world alone. Looking for an escape from her job as a television writer in L.A., she set off in search of adventure and found it. 

In her debut book, the memoir "What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding," Newman recounts her exciting solo trips to exotic locales, dalliances with foreign men, and the work she did in between as a writer on shows like "That '70s Show" and "How I Met Your Mother."
