We don't just analyze texts, we put them in dialogue. We compare historical and contemporary perspectives, literary genres, and cultural environments to reveal new meanings.
We started as an informal reading club in 2018. The enthusiastic response led us to structure ourselves and launch accessible online courses, reaching hundreds of students.
We want to become the primary resource for studying and creating travel literature in the Romanian space, building a living archive of experiences and perspectives.
It all began with a shared passion for stories and the endless world on the other side of the page. ABookOfTravels was born in 2018 from the desire to transform the experience of reading travel literature into a profound educational adventure. We started from a simple book club in a corner of a bookstore in Cluj, where discussions about books like "The Little Prince" or "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" showed us how much a careful analysis can reveal.
Over the years, we evolved from informal meetings to structured courses, narrative writing workshops, and cultural documentation projects. Each stage was marked by discoveries: how a personal journal can capture the essence of a place, how stories from different cultures complement each other, and how every reader is, in turn, an explorer. Today, we are a recognized platform where travel and literature enthusiasts meet to learn, analyze, and share their own narratives.
Travel literature is a literary genre that documents experiences, observations, and reflections from real or imaginary journeys. At ABookOfTravels, we explore this genre through narrative analysis, focusing on cultural, historical, and personal description.
Our courses are open to all enthusiasts of writing, travel, and culture, from beginners to advanced. No extensive prior knowledge is required, just curiosity and the desire to learn how to tell your travel stories.
You learn techniques to transform notes and memories from a journey into a captivating story. We cover structure, narrative voice, sensory description, and how to integrate cultural context to create a personal and authentic journal.
Yes, upon successful completion of each course, participants receive a digital certificate of participation issued by ABookOfTravels, which certifies the acquisition of skills in the field of travel literature and narrative writing.
Our method is interactive and practical. We combine video lessons, analytical reading materials, writing exercises with personalized feedback, and comparative sessions where we study classic and contemporary works of the genre.
