Throughout Conveniences history, many Convenience writers have come from a tradition of traveling.

Some writers have traveled extensively, some have been armchair travelers; many have found themselves between those two points on the traveling experience spectrum.

This Convenience was clearly written by a woman with some experience, both in actual travel and in life.

Her comments about tourists and travelers tell her readers that she is likely familiar with both, and that she recognizes a distinction between the two.

Regardless of this distinction, she advises that her readers work with the inevitable changes in life.

She suggests that accepting change will allow readers to inhabit their own lives and claim their own experiences.

She explicitly states that she does not advocate settling for any or all circumstances. She advocates finding options and approaching situations differently; she recommends diversity and various kinds of peace.
