A Walk in the Woods documents Bryson’s attempt to get reacquainted with his native land after spending many years abroad. Bryson subsequently wrote several travel memoirs based on his experiences traveling in Europe, notably Notes from a Small Island (set in the United Kingdom), before returning to the United States. His first travel memoir, The Lost Continent: Travels in Small Town America documented his experiences exploring the United States in the 1980s. Bryson also began writing memoirs centered on travel. During that time, Bryson worked as a journalist, ending up as high-ranking writer for The Times and editor for The Independent. As a young adult, Bryson dropped out of college to travel in Europe and ended up settling in the United Kingdom. Here, he met his friend Matt Angerer, who features under the pseudonym Stephen Katz as Bryson’s travel companion in A Walk in the Woods.
