We’re here…
Bookpacking is finally taking its first tentative steps into cyberspace. Our mission is to blindly go where a few people have already been before - but maybe doing it in a slightly different style and offering a few lit-linked tidbits of travel info.
Bookpacking is about arriving in an interesting city, hitting the bookshops, bars and cafes and finding yourself having a great time only hours later. It’s about finding an old copy of a 20th century classic for a couple of Euros; stumbling into a 50s-jazz concert in the backstreets of Paris; finding yourself in a poetry reading in a DDR-era Berlin bar; or watching a prosody-led improvised jam in north London.
It’s about joining the dots between all these places and feeling the pull of that river of creativity that connects the Paris of the 20s with the Barcelona of the 90s, or the Edinburgh of the 1700s with the San Francisco of the 60s. But most of all, it’s about now. Because now is the time. Now is always the time.
So come on in, the water’s lovely!
