With this article, I am back to talk about my favorite topic- Books. This time its about traveling with books intact and reading to explore more. Let us discuss the books that one prefers to keep along while exploring new places and also in between the breaks of the tiring journeys. They also act as great inspiration and help keep up the strength once tired.
Firstly, we must have reasons why a book is needed at all because the non-readers would not agree so easily. And I must make sure to give them sufficient reasons so that next time they never forget to keep one along with the baggage. It is my experience that a book comes very handy where most of the things cannot suffice.
Read on if you don’t believe. I have segregated Books ‘reason wise’ that must be kept while traveling and can be of great help.
Guide books:
They make quite an entertaining read coz they help to discover a new place and provide a small description relating its history.They contain the information about a place, its famous landmarks, places to really look for and make things really easy.
Travel Help books:
They contain all the info that you want to know about long distance traveling.A long list of itinerary can be planned with its help. What to do and what not while one is traveling?
Destination Plan books: These books help to know about the various places to travel and ultimately plan for exotic locales.
Travelogues: It can be any piece of writing about travel.It may contain well-researched guidelines and reliable anecdotes. Happy and memorable instances of people are of interest to read. One generally loves to plan to a place if its recommended by others.
If you not reading, then travel and if you not traveling, then you must spare time to read. Reading travel books help you experience a different place through the eyes of someone and once you actually plan a trip you enjoy it in your own way.
Some of my favorite travel books are-
Gulliver’s Travels – Jonathan Swift
Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Vagabonding
The Art Of Travel – Alain de Botton
Please add on your favorite travel book. Next time don’t forget to carry a book on your travel adventure.
Well personally i have never read a travel book but i do prefer reading some fiction while am travelling long distance alone
More than a book i prefer reading a blog about the place by any person who has travelled there.It gives the first hand info .But the best the experience of any near and dear ones who have already travelled there
i alwaz prefer to carry any music element with me while travelling as i love listening to good music n not a good reader. bt ya i agree that one shd carry atleast some guide books if u r travelling long distance. i remember in childhood i used to enjoy watching beautiful pictures of places in tourist books that my dad used to carry with him on any trip n yes thats alwz helpful.
otherwise i wud love to read any good romantic or suspense fiction while travelling.
Brilliant as always….keep moving
