Since I’ve devoted so many entries to travel, I thought it only appropriate to suggest some travel memoirs.  Non-fiction is not something I read often, but when I do, travel memoirs are my usual choice. 

Here are two sites which give some suggestions for travel memoirs which sound interesting to me:

http://www.cbc.ca/books/2016/07/10-travel-memoirs-to-feed-your-wanderlust.html.

And here’s an interesting article about female travel writers and some of their works:  https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/feb/28/where-female-travel-writers-gone-sara-wheeler.
