Asian Girls are Going Places is a travel book with a difference: it’s about specific joys, fears and obligations unique to Asian women navigating the world.
Separated into chapters that deal with solo travel, family travel, the best places to celebrate cultural festivals, where to find good Asian food around the globe, romance or relationships and safety and privilege, readers will enjoy sage and entertaining advice all told through Michelle Law’s signature offbeat, comedic style.
Each chapter includes anecdotes from Michelle, interviews with Asian women from around the world, handy lists and stunning illustrations by Hong Kong artist Joey Leung Kay-yin; the book also comes with a beautiful page of stickers!
Asian Girls Are Going Places is an antidote to the traditionally dry, exoticising, and Anglo-centric travel canon that leaves many readers feeling more lost than found. It’s a book that’s at once cool and collected, yet not afraid to take on the weird, funny and, at times, gross aspects of travel. But you don’t need to have any concrete travel plans to get a lot out of this book.
Asian Girls are Going Places is a handy, laugh-out-loud and deeply relatable travel companion dedicated to Asian women: those who have travelled, have dreams to travel, or are aching to travel again soon.
