MEMORY ROAD TRIP is a collection of travel stories ranging from the sublime to the surreal as recounted by a former travel agent who saw the world on the cheap. The journey down memory road is a heartfelt excursion into the past that takes armchair explorers on an odyssey of life, love, and loneliness. Readers will join this intrepid Gen Xer as she gets herself locked inside a cathedral, lost in a Nevada desert, and held up at machete point by Zapatista rebels.
This coming-of-age story invites readers to join this intrepid traveler as she navigates the relationships of young adult life. The writer philosophizes her way out of many philosophical conundrums throughout her worldly journeys, and many of her stories speak to the angst that simmers inside all of us as we confront the many absurdities that exist in this world. Her passion for nature, art, history, and architecture gush across the page, along with her contagious curiosity in life and her pragmatic acceptance of death. The writer does not shy away from her developing political and environmental opinions, for traveling opens her eyes to see how the world is fragile and connected.
The advent of COVID-19 has grounded this plucky explorer and has made her nostalgic for all the trips that she can no longer do. MEMORY ROAD TRIP is not only an adventurous journey to certain parts of the globe, but it is also an introspective and witty journey to the mysterious self. For as large as the world is, it has grown infinitely smaller, yet currently exists relatively out of reach. Travel, for the moment, is safer done mentally these days, so now’s the time to go on a MEMORY ROAD TRIP with someone who knows the way.
