Bad Tourist: Misadventures in Love and Travel by Suzanne Roberts

2.0

Bad Tourist is a memoir and collection of essays about the author's various travels around the world. This is a good book to read if you are missing traveling during the pandemic or have had to cancel trips. For me, the most enjoyable part of the book was reading about different countries and cultures. I felt like I was able to travel without even leaving my house.

However, the travel stories eventually became repetitive and superfluous in my opinion. I quickly tired of reading about love affairs in various countries and often cringeworthy encounters with locals and fellow travelers. The organization of the book was also hard to follow and didn't make sense to me.
