Travel writing is a difficult genre to classify as it shares in so many other genres. Autobiographies, histories, personal narratives, accounts of exploration, and tales of epic quests: travel writing derives from and adds to each of these forms. Travel writing has always been as much about the exploration of the self and the other as well as about the places visited. Travel writers and critics of the genre have often argued that the destination is of relatively little consequence; it is the process of travel, the work that is the true subject of the travel writer.
