What the book I chose for the final book project is all about.

The book I chose for the final book project is called Neither Here nor There by Bill Bryson.
In the book, the author is the narrator as he travels throughout Europe. He leaves his home in England to travel all the way to Brussels down to Istanbul. As he tries to relive the trip he took 20 years before he discovers lots of fun exciting things all around Europe. Despite getting lost constantly and coming back home with no money to spend, he makes it clear that it was all worth it.

 He starts his trip in Hammerfest where he spends more than 2 weeks with the hopes of seeing The Northern Lights. After getting that out of his system he moved down to other countries including Italy, France, and The Netherlands. He along with his annoying friend, Katz had plenty to tell after that trip. They saw interesting works of art in museums, stumbled upon sex shops, and gave a lot of waiters a hard time. At arriving in Istanbul, Bryson points out how he could keep going, having Asian right there in front of him.

Instead, he goes back home to his pregnant wife to restart his everyday life once more. The only difference is that he left Europe a different person, an evolved person. Traveling in general is a wonderful thing, but traveling in Europe is more than that. In Europe, one become a kid who knows absolutely nothing by stepping again and again into a different country. Being lost in the foreign language and culture is something Bill Bryson was looking forward to doing. Thanks to reading his book, I now want to go to Europe as a traveler instead of a tourist.
