Ravishly presents a first look at the cover for Suzanne Roberts' Bad Tourist: Misadventures in Love and Travel (University of Nebraska Press, October 2020).

Both a memoir in travel essays and an anti-guidebook, Bad Tourist takes us across four continents to fifteen countries, showing us what not to do when traveling. A woman learning to claim her own desires and adventures, Suzanne Roberts encounters lightning and landslides, sharks and piranha-infested waters, a nightclub drugging, burning bodies, and brief affairs as she searches for the love of her life and finally herself.
