This is part travel guide part memoir but all good I love reading travel stories about places I haven’t been in Krista Marson has been many places I have not. My favorite was a visit to Rome but I found all the essays in this book really interesting the text really keeps you engaged and she does not bog you down with all boring details but things I found Uber interesting as I said. What more can I say this was a great book and if you love the travel weather physically or in your mind you need to read time travel by Krista Marson. I received this book from NetGalley and the publisher but I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

I This book was interesting how the author would go to places and the chaffers what explained what was going on now and what was on the past. I like how she went to Mexico the 1st time she loved the place so much but when she went back it was all I'll change It happens a lot and life. The developers come in and change things around and make it hard for people to really experience what's really going on She like going to Museums to look at old and ancient stuff. It's also like a love story because when she found somebody who really could identify with her he went on these different trips with her. I think it was very interesting the 1st time they went to see her mother and it was very difficult because your mother had problems Then she knew she found the right person to be with. She had ex boyfriends in her past for really didn't Came to care what she was doing how she was doing

How was your trip- you might ask a friend who has returned from interesting locales. Their reply is usually-it was great! Krista Marson does more than this, she actually tells us how it was, in rich detailed , never boring descriptions. What it was like to walk along the roads and paths, what she saw and how it impacted her both who she is and was. I admire how she is able to articulate what the places mean to her when so often I can only feel them but not put into words. Highly recommend!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book.

I loved Krista Marson’s “Memory Road Trip” so very much. I expected to love “Time Traveled” just as much, but it was a little too detailed for me, if that makes sense. I have visited some of the places she visited and her vivid descriptions brought me right back and gave me the travel bug to return to those places, having seen them through her eyes, and adding some new places to my list. I felt many of the same emotions she did while traveling in Rome and Spain, so loved those parts of the book very much.
It is a great work of history, travel, and life itself.
I very much appreciated her honesty about her mother’s physical and mental health - that is not a road many family members dare to travel, never mind share with all of us. Thank you for that.
If you are planning a trip, read this book and please put her destinations on your own list. You will not be disappointed!

"Time Traveled" is a combination of a travel guide, personal experiences, and how she felt at certain places and times. Krista Marson has a talented way of bringing the past to life by incorporating personal experiences, witty observations and a very astute understanding of the times in which these places existed in.
I fell in love with Marson’s other book, "Memory Road Trip" but I found this one has too much explaining at some points. I like that she describes the story of the places she travelled with some history and some personal experiences. But in Time Traveled, I couldn’t keep reading all the detailed information about some places. But that’s just me and definitely, some may find it very interesting.
If you are a fan of history, geography, travel, and planet earth, this book will be a delight for you to read. This book would make an excellent guidebook or companion to a future trip to these destinations.
