Why did you read this book? Toast editor Nicole Cliffe tweeted that the kindle edition was on sale, and I’ve enjoyed a lot of essays on The Hairpin before.

Has Jeremy read it? No.

42-word review: Meandery, memoirish essays about travel that are mainly about not-entirely-positive experiences, but they still made me wish I’d backpacked more. My favourites were by Chiara Atik and Nicole Cliffe about being alone in Paris and a Let’s Go editor in London, respectively.
