Critiques en avant-premièreKrista Marson

Time Traveled strings together a slew of travel stories that are punchy and fun to read. The author seamlessly alternates being witty, poignant, and philosophical. The author lays herself bare and doesn't flinch whenever she feels vulnerable. Themes such as nature, history, and art rank high on her literary list, as well as loneliness and the importance of having someone to love. Tripping over the remnants of who we used to be, this explorer diligently follows the breadcrumbs left by those who came before.

This book is an installment of the Memory Road Trip series, a compendium of travel stories collected over 25 years. Her memoirs are not travel journals, per se, but rather introspective journeys to the mysterious self.

MEMORY ROAD TRIP is a compendium of travel stories ranging from the sublime to the surreal as told by a money-strapped traveler who traveled 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. The circuitous path is full of philosophical nooks and crannies, and many stories get told from the bottom of a psychological well. Readers will join this intrepid Gen X-er as she gets herself locked inside a cathedral, lost in the desert, and held up at machete point by Zapatista rebels. 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. 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. People have always told this adventurer that she needed to write her travel stories down. She always thought that she'd have forever to write them, but now she knows that forever is not as long as she thought it was.
