“In 1977 in the heart of the Australian outback, a young Robyn Davidson left Alice Springs on foot for a 1700 mile journey through the desert, accompanied by 4 camels and her dog. I found her story to be incredibly inspiring because it embodies the spirit of venturing into the wild on your own. Her book paints such a vivid and raw image of the beauty of the desert and the triumphs of self discovery. I recommend Tracks to anyone who loves a good adventure story.” Aaron.
The Alchemist
Tara from thetravelingwaitress.com has chosen One More Day Everywhere: Crossing 50 Borders on the Road to Global Understanding
“This is one of my all time favourite books and one that evokes a deep sense of wanderlust from the soul. Glen Heggstand was captured in Columbia while riding his motorcycle through South America. Instead of hiding from the world upon his release and declaring the earth an unsafe place, he instead embarks on a journey with a mission.
Glen sets out to show fear focused North America how welcoming, kind, generous and loving our fellow human beings really are. Crossing 50 boarders on his motorcycle, including those that evoke trepidation in even the most seasoned traveler; Siberia, Mongolia, the Middle East, Africa. It is Glen’s descriptions of the people that make you want to pack your bags and go to meet them. I love this book so much because it shows what every traveler comes to know, that as people we have more similarities than differences and the kindness of the human spirt is universal.” Tara
