Compare The Globetrotter by Amy Miller, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

In the mid-19th century, as new routes opened up, a new generation of travelers embarked on excursions to India, China and Japan. Globetrotters—leisure tourists with a keen interest in experiencing authentic culture—flocked to the East, casting aside preconceptions and gravitating towards what they hoped to be the unchanged landscapes and traditions of Eastern cultures. The relics of their travels—the food they consumed and the souvenirs they brought back—allowed globetrotters to distinguish themselves from common tourists. They proudly returned with accounts that presented a global East, challenging public assumptions about the cultures they had visited and charting a journey of self-transformation.
