33 Settlements. 33 Experiences. Joseph Rogers, through his uniquely dramatic style of writing, explains how settlements differ in character but are in many ways so strangely equal. By pinpointing various landmarks, establishments and individual traits that make a village, town or city what it is, he tries to create a snapshot definition and lasting memory for each place he visits. From Glasgow to Grimstone, Budapest to Beer, he attempts to grasp the very reason for exploring such places and brings forth conclusions that express his many opinions on the subject of travelling.
