Very much can sense the main theme of...yes the journey is the destination and for the protagonist it will save and enrich her life. The magical realism mood + atmosphere is very interesting to feel. Could sense Aubrey very much could wandering worlds of worlds on different planes of existence and it was interesting to see her growth from bratty kid to wise wander as she adapts to her "illness" and see all the wonders and people the world has to offer.

Started out tedious, got better with some good stories, ended in a dumb way.

the premise was interesting but there is essentially no plot. a woman has to travel the world against her will. and so she travels the world. that’s it.

it’s like when your coworker comes back from vacation and forces you to sit through a slideshow of all the photos they took on the trip
