"The genre of travel literature encompasses outdoor literature, guide books, nature writing, and travel memoirs.
One early travel memoirist in Western literature was Pausanias, a Greek geographer of the 2nd century AD. In the early modern period, James Boswell´s Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides (1786) helped shape travel memoir as a genre." - (en.wikipedia.org 01.12.2020)
