I do agree with many things discussed, and The Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter does inspire me to go out and do more stuff. The Alaska trip sounds amazing
The main goal is to retrace Washington’s footsteps, poke around the edges of history, and find the uncomfortable stories that no one tells.
The book focused on the author’s growth throughout her hike. A difficult 220 miles, which she did in three weeks, amazingly her first long hike, solo as well
Go West, Young Man: A Father and Son Rediscover America on the Oregon Trail by B J Hollars is a travelogue of the author, joined by his six-year-old son.
Okay, so, as it turns out, I did write a ‘travelogue’ after all, because I wrote memoirs about my travels. But don’t expect my books to be the same.
The book is in a funny/serious travelogue, part smart history and part investigative report into Bingham’s discovery all encompassed in an unbending adventure
While Lisa Napoli’s take on Bhutan is strictly of an outside observer, I still found the window she opened to the country fascinating
