More seasoned than a tourist or a sightseer, librarian and professor Margaret Montet proudly declares herself a “Nerd Traveler.” Join her as she sets off across the United States and around the globe on a journey of intellectual curiosity. Combining relevant history, biography, and the culture of each city with her own experience and revelations, Nerd Traveler is a series of essays that highlight the joy which can come from moving beyond your comfort zone.

Through a celebration of books, learning, music, and art, Margaret Montet offers readers moments of contemplation that also provide us with another story: a woman reconnecting with the lost facets of her identity.

A perfect voyage of mindful traveling for explorers of all generations, Nerd Traveler asks us to pack a bag and consider “what if?”
