Today travelling is a global phenomenon. Many journeys involve cross-cultural contacts, often between cultures which are very remote from each other. Some questions arise: does the contemporary traveller expect cross-cultural contacts and how does he/she imagine such interactions? These seemingly simple questions enable us to reflect on the intentionality and complexity of cross-cultural interactions, the main issue discussed in the article. The author draws the reader's attention to the social roles assumed by the modern traveller, as well as the theoretical scenarios of cross-cultural contact, analyzing its symmetric and asymmetric forms.

In 1954 a young country woman from New South Wales, Shirley Dunk, ex- ercised her agency and travelled to London. This was a journey to the home of her fore- fathers and copied the activities of other country women who made similar journeys. Some of the earliest of these journeys were undertaken by the wives and daughters of the 19th-century rural gentry. This research project will use a qualitative approach in an examination of Shirley’s journey archive complemented with supplementary interviews and stories of other travellers. Shirley nostalgically recalled the sense of adventure that she experienced as she left Sydney for London by ship and travelled through the United Kingdom and Europe. The article will address questions posed by the journey for Shirley and her travelling companion, Beth, and how they dealt with these forces as tourists and travellers. Shirley’s letters home were reported in the country press and reminiscent of soldier’s wartime letters home that described their tales as tourists in foreign lands. The narrative will show that Shirley, as an Australian country girl, was exposed to the cosmo- politan nature of the metropole, as were other women. The paper will explore how Shirley was subject to the forces of modernity and consumerism at a time when rural women were often limited to domesticity.

Traveling Blogs. The New Form of Kids Communication The article is an analysis of the pilot version of an empirical research which was carried on of some polish family bloggers to see if the blogs have an influence for the kids of the bloggers and or if these kids are representative travelers for a young community. Another goal was to find an answer to the question if these kids have an equal education during their trips or maybe they miss some school habits. According to the research bloggers educate and motivate their kids, they try to see and submit the world which their kids see. Mostly they write how-to posts to help other families with planning their trips with their kids.

In the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th century. in Kyiv, a city that attracted many visitors, nationwide trends in the development of the coal, metallurgical, machine-building, light, food industry, and agriculture industries were marked, and at the same time, there was a lack of engineers, agronomists, and technicians. Against this background, there was an urgent need to establish a higher institution of technical education in Kyiv, which became the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, opened in 1898. At the same time, it was during this period that tourism, which before was rather a supplement to pilgrimage, gradually grew into a mass one, and accordingly, guides, as a publication outlining noteworthy routes, became more and more popular. Therefore, it is important to trace how the new university entered the sphere of attention of visitors to the city, and what role the authors of guidebooks – valuable comprehensive sources on the history of everyday life in the city – played in this. The article examines the peculiarities of coverage in Kyiv guidebooks of the circumstances of the opening of the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. It can be concluded that the most information about the circumstances of the opening of the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute is contained in those guides (except K. Svirskiy) that were published immediately after the opening of this educational institution (in 1900 and 1901), although one of them – a reprint of M. Sementovskyi – in the first in the first turn it was aimed at pilgrims, and only in the second – at social guests of the city. Probably, the compilers sought to record as accurately as possible the still unfinished process unfolding before them.V. Chekhovsky, who openly positioned his work as dedicated to the modern features of the Kyiv of that time, disclosed in it the main, in his opinion, prerequisites and key aspects of the establishment of the institute from planning to the implementation of a concrete project, and among the most prominent persons involved, he did not overlook those ethnically related to Poles, but did not exaggerate their role. Later editions do not go beyond the placement of information, according to the authors, most important for average travellers. Even in the most succinct coverage of events, the importance of the role of donations from private individuals is noticeable, sometimes with an indication of the cost of the project.

У ХІХ – на початку ХХ ст. на Києві, місті, яке приваблювало багатьох відвідувачів, позначалися загальнодержавні тенденції в розвитку вугільної, металургійної, машинобудівної, легкої, харчової промисловості, сільського господарства, а разом з тим – брак інженерів, агрономів і техніків. На цьому тлі виникла гостра потреба в заснуванні у Києві вищого закладу технічної освіти, яким і став Київський політехнічний інститут, відкритий 1898 р.Водночас саме в цей період туризм, котрий раніше був радше доповненням до паломництва, поступово переростав у масовий, відповідно й путівники, як видання, де окреслюються варті уваги маршрути, ставали все популярнішими. Тож важливо простежити, як новий виш входив до сфери уваги відвідувачів міста, і яку роль у цьому відігравали автори путівників – цінних комплексних джерел із історії міського повсякдення. У статті розглядаються особливості висвітлення в путівниках по Києву обставин відкриття Київського політехнічного інституту. Можна зробити висновки, що найбільше інформації про обставини відкриття Київського політехнічного інституту міститься в тих путівниках (крім К. Свірського), які вийшли друком одразу незабаром після відкриття цього закладу освіти (1900 р. і 1901 р.), хоча один із них – перевидання М. Сементовського – в першу чергу орієнтувався на паломників, а тільки в другу – на світських гостей міста. Ймовірно, укладачі прагнули зафіксувати як найдокладніше ще незавершений процес, який розгортався перед ними. В. Чеховський, котрий відкрито позиціонував свою роботу як присвячену модерним рисам тогочасного Києва, розкрив у ній головні, на його думку, передумови, та ключові аспекти постання інституту від планування до реалізації конкретизованого проекту, а серед найвизначніших залучених осіб не обійшов увагою етнічно споріднених із собою поляків, проте не перебільшував їхньої ролі. Пізніші видання вже не виходять за межі розміщення інформації, на думку авторів, найважливішої для середньостатистичних мандрівників. Впадає в око наголошування навіть при найбільш стислому висвітленні подій великої ролі пожертв від приватних осіб, часом із вказівкою вартості проекту.
