Spoilerfree Review
A delightful travelguide, that doesn't so much tell us what to do when we're away from (the comforts of) our home, but tries to remind us why we left: to explore the world! I found it heartwarming to recognize not only the many moments of wonder while discovering other places, but also the apathy that I experience while traveling.
