This is not a travel memoir. This is not a how-to book, or a guide to fulfilling a bucket list. This is not a book of essays, a novel, or a list of must-see places around the world. You will find very little advice on these pages. There isn’t an outline on how to travel solo, and there are no lists of the cheapest international airlines and hotels. There is no mention of the most Instagram-worthy spots in Paris, and whether you should bring a neck pillow on a flight is not covered. This book contains lessons, themes, allegories, mistakes, and knowledge that Katherine Scott has come across while traveling. She does not simply retell her favorite stories or offer you advice on how to travel. Rather, she’s created something abstract as a means of sharing her personal experiences. There isn’t another travel book like this. This short and sweet page-turner will persuade you to travel more often, with more depth, and with less expectation than before.
