Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider A FortuneTeller Told Me by Tiziano Terzani.
“A FortuneTeller Told Me reads as a series of lively travel episodes: Tiziano Terzani moving through unusual corners of Asia and reporting small portraits, conversations and oddities. The chief value is scene-by-scene storytelling with memorable atmospherics and a chatty, eyewitness voice rather than practical guidance. The main limitation is uneven pacing and recurring digressions — the same reflective points reappear and slow momentum. Best taken as a collection of moments to savor, not a tight narrative or a how-to manual.”
