ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Travel literature

Travel literature is like reading a story about someone going on a big adventure to a new place. Just like when you read a picture book and see all the fun things the characters do, in travel literature you can read about real people going to real places all over the world.

When you read travel literature, you can learn about different cultures, foods, sights, and experiences. It's like taking a trip without leaving your home! You might read about a trip to Paris and learn about the Eiffel Tower, croissants, and the Louvre Museum. Or you might read about a trip to Japan and learn about sushi, temples, and cherry blossom trees.

Some travel literature is funny, some is serious, and some is just plain exciting. You might read about someone climbing a mountain, swimming in a tropical ocean, or trying new foods. And just like any other type of book, travel literature can help you learn new things, share experiences with people, and explore new places.
