A Borgo Travel Journal
 
With this volume on Wandering, a new series is launched. The 18th century was the heyday of publishing diaries as travel accounts. Although diaries do remain popular today as expressions of thought and philosophy, as well as coming-of-age accounts (think Anne Frank!), seldom are travel diaries published verbatim. Borgo Publishing thinks they should be. For all of you who travel, whether for work or fun, each day on the road yields new discoveries and sensations. Travel is a stimulant, both positively and negatively. It can bring immense joy, bitter frustration, excitement, fatigue, anger, or sorrow, often all in the same day. Travel also may establish friendships that last forever. The main lesson we learn from these diaries is that it’s okay to be grumpy at times in experiencing the lives and lands of others.
