A place to share your travel memories
Welcome to Travel Memoirs, a publication dedicated to our travel memories, the people we meet, and the experiences, good and bad, that have had an impact or taught us a lesson.
This isn’t a travelogue. I don’t want to know about your favorite hotel, or read a diary of your travels. It’s more Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love) or Frances Mayes (Under a Tuscan Sun) than Rick Steves.

We are proud to be under the Parasol Publications banner. Darren Weir is the publisher and editor-in-charge. If you want to be added as a writer, send me an email to travelermemoir@gmail.com with a short message about why you want to write here. Also please let me know your interpretation of Travel Memoirs.
