I love the photos, but would have preferred a cohesive narrative of Nabongo's travels. This reads like a series of instagram posts. Nabongo's writing style is engaging, but the format of the book feels limiting. Since she lists the countries in order of her first visit and she has visited many countries multiple times, we jump around a lot. Also, it's kind of disappointing that she doesn't talk about every country she' visited.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. I have mixed feelings about the author, who seems like a lovely person, albeit a bit out of touch at times. Towards the end she goes on about how you can always find a way, but she's saying that from a place of privilege as a dual passport holder with one of those being U.S. It's odd because she makes efforts to acknowledge her privilege throughout the book while still having moments that show how out of touch she is. That being said, I appreciated her honesty and effort to not sugarcoat her experiences, while also pointing out the good. I have traveled a fair amount and that is how my experiences have been - many headaches and difficulties along the way but also amazing experiences I wouldn't trade.
