Questions of Travel is a 2012 novel by Australian author Michelle de Kretser.
The novel concerns two main characters: Laura—an Australian woman who travels the world before returning to Sydney to work for a publisher of travel guides—and Ravi—an IT professional from Sri Lanka who flees his country after a major trauma.
The novel "illuminates travel, work and modern dreams in this brilliant evocation of the way we live now.

"[3] The novel's title, Questions of Travel, is a homage to a poem of the same name by Elizabeth Bishop.
