I really enjoyed this book, though the ending left me wanting more. Alice crafted beautiful little vignettes of her travel rich enough to make me want to drop what I'm doing and start traveling the world. This kind of travel memoir is right up my alley, something I would love to do if I had the time and especially the money.

However, as good as this book was, it felt a bit disconnected. I couldn't tell whether these different visits were one right after the other or spread out over the course of months and years with considerable gabs between. A little bit of connection between them would have gone a long way.

This was a nice, enjoyable and easy read. I recommend it.
