I have good news. I actually really liked this book! Steinem
offers an interesting perspective on life and traveling that I never really
thought about before. Her addiction to traveling and experiences she gained
from her time abroad helps point out things that I never really thought about,
like how much of a difference having or not having a car can make. Having lived
in the Manhattan area, I can safely say that you don't really need a car to get
around, and in fact, a car would actually be more of a hassle. Yay for
functioning public transportation! Now that I've pretty much decided on living
in the bay area after graduation, I'm actually a little bummed out that I'll
have to get a car, and pay for insurance and gas since paying for a monthly
unlimited metro pass is so much cheaper. Who knows though, maybe Elon Musk will
come up with a plan for good public transportation in the bay area as a side
project while he figures out how to get to Mars.
On a more serious note though, after reading about all of her
stories from travel abroad, I'm glad that I have a place that I can go back to
where I can completely be at home. I know she basically says that home is where
to heart is, but being able to go back to one place where all of your friends
and family live is reassuring.
