Where are we going this summer? This journey on Literary Nomads, we pack our bags and ask a simple question: What are we tourists expecting to find, and why? Step into the fresh air of travel writing, history, physical geography, and tale-telling.

Imagine us, then, as literary pilgrims. Why are we drawn here, what we might gain, and what awaits us? It’s a line sometimes between the pristine ideal and the physical reality of the dirt, of the ghosts, and of the weather left behind after the gift shops close.
