Welcome to Litsy!

Adding this to my growing list of disappointing travel memoirs. Partially because I read it immediately after How to Live Free in a Dangerous World, one of my favorites reads of the year, it was hard not to compare the two. The author of this book seems like one of those typical Americans who travels to places solely to say he traveled there. He didn't seem to care much about the cultures or the experiences, just checking places off his list 🙄

Huh? I apparently got lost on the Wonder Trail.

Travels in South America.

#bookriot #riotgrams #day4 #travels&adventures found this one on my library‘s for sale shelf the other day. Looks interesting! The writer was a part of a lot of my favorite shows.

If BJ Novak says this is the coolest, funniest travel book then it definitely has to be! Spotted on Instagram. About a trip from LA to the southern tip of South America. Want to read!

This might be my ideal travel book. Hely is a comedy writer, but this is less evident in the book being funny (although it is) than in its blend of mundane and transcendent observations. Human and relatable and wonderful. I read a friend's but liked it enough to buy my own copy (pictured).

The more you read about the founders of other nations, the more you realize why early Americans revered George Washington so much.

I sat, looked back across the lake. As otherworldly a place as I'd ever seen, but the beauty of it was a bit harsh, the landscape on the far mountains semi-bare, the few boats on the lake almost disappearing on the vastness of the surface.

Welp, I guess that's Lake Titicaca, I thought.

"Nowhere I walked seemed stabby."

This is a great opening sentence.
