Go: A Memoir of Movement is collection of six stories exploring three trips Jesse O'Reilly-Conlin took between 2009 and 2016: South America (2009 to 2010) and Eastern Europe (2016).

Go: A Memoir of Movement is collection of six stories exploring three trips Jesse O'Reilly-Conlin took between 2009 and 2016: South America (2009 to 2010) and Eastern Europe (2016). In it, he explores his evolving relationship to travel, what it has meant to him over the years, and why, after visiting 120 countries and at the age of thirty-eight, he still has as strong a desire to leave as he did at nineteen when he took his first international trip alone-to New Zealand and Australia. What has been his motivation? What, if anything, has he learned about himself or the world? Why must he continue to depart again and again? What has he sacrificed to live a life of movement? In these post-pandemic times, with the travel industry roaring back to life, it's pertinent to ask why we travel. How can we make travel more ethical, its relationships less hierarchal and more horizontal?
