Our world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.
Augustine of Hippo (Philosopher & Theologian)
About Me
I am Niamh Martin, an independent travel writer with a career built at the intersection of literature, travel, and the written word. My professional background and personal interests have always been deeply rooted in these three pillars, leading me to explore how physical locations influence and reflect the world’s greatest narratives.
Our World is a Book is the result of that intersection. It is a dedicated space for documenting the tangible links between geography and storytelling—from the historic libraries and independent bookshops that anchor communities to the specific landscapes that have shaped literary history. My goal is to provide a well-researched resource for travelers who view their destinations through a literary lens.
Showcasing Literary Destinations
I am always looking to expand the blog’s reach by featuring new locations that hold literary significance. Whether you manage a historic writer’s home, a themed boutique hotel, an archive, or a bookstore, I am interested in hearing how your space contributes to the global literary map.
If you would like to have your location or project showcased on the blog, please get in touch to discuss a feature.
