Chipping away at this list My thoughts so far:brbr"The Odyssey" by Homer: Long br"Vagabonding" by Rolf Potts: Informative and inspiring br"On the Road" by Jack Kerouac: Frenetic and at times tedious Dharma Bums was easier and more enjoyable Still recommend reading both br"The Alchemist " by Paulo Coelho: Probably one of the greatest stories by a living author That being said, not all Coelho touches turns to gold br"Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert: If this book weren't so ignorantly colonial in its undertones it would have been fun br"Innocents Abroad" by Mark Twain: So long So tedious Just memorize the quote at the end and move on with your life br"Barbarian Days" by William Finnegan: Super fun read by a great author

"Pilgrimage" the memoirs of Fernão Mendes Pinto, Portuguese sailor/slave/soldier/religious/pirate/merchant in South East Asia in the mid-1500 br"A Goddess in the Stones - Travels in India", 1992, by Brit author Norman Lewis
Comment from : Janeka928

PS VS Naipaul's travel books are very good, but he seems bloody grumpy and difficult IRL And I love Vikram Seth's From Heaven Lake (about what is now called Xinjiang & Tibet)
Comment from : Jenny Ekberg

Thanks for these recommendations! I have read maybe half, and agree except for the Alchemist, am I the only person in the world who doesn't like it?? I can also recommend Colin Thubron's "Shadow of the silk road" and "The lost heart of Asia" (both about Central Asia) Also great: "An unexpected light" by Jason Elliot (Afghanistan), "Blood River" by Tim Butcher (Congo) and Ella Maillart's books

The entire series of global travel in the Age of Sail by Patrick O’Brian Lucky Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin visit every continent in these 20 sublimely-written books Spycraft, rescues, romance, nature, culture and wit The audio versions read by the magnificent Patrick Tull (accept no substitute readers!) bring the 19th century and global travel to life
Comment from : Marge Anderson

A thoughtful and exciting list! What about Venice by Jan Morris - a witty and loving deep dive into La Serenissima and her culture, people and history Fantastic writer I also recommend Life List by Olivia Gentile - about the travels of one of the greatest birders in history, Phoebe Snetsinger, during the bad old days when birding was quite dangerous, and the special challenges she faced as a woman wwwgoodreadscom/book/show/4620058

Walden’s mother and sisters lived nearby and brought him all his meals Not so solitary
Comment from : Marge Anderson

Just finished "vagabonding" by Rolf potts I just loved it Definitely recommend to travellers Some of the information is redundant obviously because it was published on 2002 But the philosophy of vagabonding is excellently portrayed
Comment from : Saraf

Alix Lee' s travel stories are great, too, but I haven't seen them in paperback, only Amazon ebook, anyway I enjoyed all those I could find!

My addition is Euphoria by Lily King, which recounts the travels of anthropologist Margaret Mead through New Guinea in the 1920s This is travels means science, and it is as intellectual as it is sensual Exquisite

Comment from : Just Rasha

Would highly recommend 'Prisoners of geography' by Tim Marshall Not so much travel but a very interesting book of how geography has shaped countries boarders
Comment from : Macy guerri-garrett

+vagabrothers I searched for you guys in Savannah, GA and didn't find anything Soooooooget hoppin' to the most haunted city in the US where bodies are still buried underneath the streets Deep sea fishing, and the scenery, history, homes will make you want to buy a Victorian home on one of the squares PS "Life is a highway" Tom Cochran
Comment from : dizzotizzo69

Can't forget Chatwin's "In Patagonia"! Read that while traveling through Argentine Patagonia myself in 2015 It's got some wonderful quirky bits of history strewn throughout and describes the Patagonian environment perfectly

Thank you
Comment from : 📚 Amy Bookaholic 📚

Highly recommend South Seas Vagabonds - The true story of Johnny Wray's adventures after being fired from his day job in the Great Depression, building his own boat and spending the rest of his days sailing around the Pacific, living the life of his dreams, has become a classic and an inspiration to generations of readers, sailors and landlubbers alike From the hilarious and jaw-dropping account of how Johnny begged, borrowed and stole the materials to build his famous yacht, Ngataki, to the many adventures he and his mates had around the atols and islands of the South Pacific, South Sea Vagabonds is much more than just a ripping yarn; it is a heartfelt hymn to the possibility of living a free life, of being the master of one's own destiny
Comment from : George Beattie

I loved Into The Wild by John Krakauer Read it years ago though, don’t remember it that well so I don’t why you shouldn’t give it to your mum
Comment from : Anais Grigri

Loved the video, will definitely pick a few of those books up Just one caveat: Ernesto Guevara is one of the darkest figures in Latin American history So while I completely understand the recommendation of Motorcycle Diaries as a travel book, I'd tread very lightly on the commentary on Guevara as a person It's a complicated issue to say the least
Comment from : carlosmegana

Loved this video! Will definitely check out some of these books!
Comment from : Lucas Troutt

Anything Levison Wood has ever written
Comment from : Dylan Moore

Great list guys!! Some familiar and some news ones to enjoy An all time favorite of mine is Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig Epic
Comment from : David Lauver

There is a Brazilian singer that also writes amazing books His name is Chico Buarque and he wrote a novel, Budapest, and the story is centered around Budapest with very specific details about the city But he never went to Budapest himself He got everything from travel guides, maps It's not a book about travel but for some reason this video reminded me about Budapest I don't know if the book was translated to English, probably not The book is about a ghost writer divided between two cities (Budapest and Rio de Janeiro), two women, two languages and two books brbrAlso his music is amazing and very poetick
Comment from : dianamvd

I love wild!!
Comment from : Sarah Moore / Motherhood Lifestyle

Lawrence Millman- Last Places worth a read if your interested in Scandinavia and the Vikings

Along the Enchanted Way: A Story of Love and Life in RomaniabrA really good book about not wanting to be dependent on what modern life gives you, and instead living very frugally with what the earth gives you

Comment from : Vince Smith

I have so much reading to do! Making my summer reading list now
Comment from : HotMamaTravel

Some outstanding recommendations there guys, nice work! A great reading list for future travelsbrbrI've always been a fan of reading novels set in the country you're travelling in, really adds that extra dimension to any trip I find Whether it's Shantaram for India, Into Thin Air for trekking in Nepal and of course The Beach when in Thailand Especially love a good Wilbur Smith for any trip to Africa, he sure knows how to spin a good yarn! Highly recommend the Courtney novels if you're heading out to South Africa in particular and his Egyptian series is riveting stuff too Any other favourite combos?
Comment from : Arron Bryan

What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding by Kristin Newman Honest, hilarious and a little heartfelt has made it one of my favorite reads of the year

We are travelling around Southamerica and we’ve decided to read at least a book about each country, that being historic novels, folklore or just their classic authors such as Isabel Allende in Chile It is giving us great insight about culture, politics we are loving it!brAlso wanted to mention the book that made me decide to quit my job a trabaje Southamerica: Caminos Invisibles, 36000km a dedo de Antártica a Guayanas (Two true Argentinian nomads that after that book extended their trip to Europe and Africa) 💙brLove this video, will add to the list for after read Currently in Bolivia reading about stories of the early 90’s 🙃
