Elsewhere: A Millennial Travel Memoir

Start Date

9-4-2024 12:00 AM

Description

Elsewhere explores the concept of traveling from a young millennial's perspective. In a world often full of terror, fear, and pessimism, the optimistic pursuit of travel is at odds with the average young person's ability, attention, and means. However, world and domestic travel has proved essential to my mental and physical health. I recount in my MFA thesis, which is a draft of a full-length travel memoir, my experiences with travel and how they have shaped me as a human being looking forward to the future. In my work, I explore the concept of going elsewhere, road trips, different cultures, public transportation, resting, buying souvenirs, and returning home, and how travel is a cultural and individual necessity. I combine personal, literary, and academic research in exploring these themes all in support of the compelling journey elsewhere.
