I'll preface this by saying this book was assigned reading for a grad class.

Some of these were really good. It gave me inspiration for future travel writing (if COVID ever allows that to happen again), but also ideas on how to improve my existing pieces. It makes me dream about when I can step foot in a different country one day, or even a different state for that matter.
