Pack your (virtual) travel bags and bring your travel questions! Fodor’s Senior Editor Nikki Vargas dives into her forthcoming travel memoir and answers reader questions.
Here at Fodor’s, we love devouring good travel writing, whether it’s revisiting classics like Cheryl Strayed’s powerful memoir Wild or following the journey of author Mya Rose-Craig as she documents her family’s journey from birding to international activism..
So it may come as no surprise that the next book on our ‘To Be Read’ pile comes from one of Fodor’s own. In Nikki Vargas’ forthcoming travel memoir, Call You When I Land, the celebrated author and Fodor’s Senior Editor shares a coming-of-age story that weaves together wanderlust and travel to tell a globetrotting tale that will make you laugh, cry, and feel inspired.

Call You When I Land will take you from the fruit stands of Colombia to slurping noodles in Hanoi to stumbling upon a fresh lion kill in Kenya. All the while, Vargas survives loss, uncovers some family secrets and takes us on an emotional rollercoaster filled with chasing career dreams, navigating breakups, a last-minute canceled wedding, and even an unsolved murder.
