The finest travel stories to still be a little on vacation
Because of the corona crisis, we cannot go on vacation right now. That’s very unfortunate, especially if you already had something planned. To get into the travel mood, we have found the best travel stories for you. Be at home while still being on vacation! What’s also nice: you can order the books directly from Paagman!
Only from Tim Voors
In the book Alone, Tim Voors describes his hike on the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada. That’s a hike of no less than 4286 kilometers! During his bizarre 6-month trek, he experiences all kinds of things! Tim writes as if you were there yourself, so a wonderful alternative to a vacation. And that without getting tired! This book is really highly recommended and you actually prefer to read it in one sitting.
Wild by Cheryl Strayed
The impressive Wild by Cheryl Strayed is a book you will not soon forget. This young woman began very impulsively also the Pacific Crest Trail after her mother died and she was going through a divorce. She actually walked her 1,700 miles totally unprepared. She too describes her story with all the ups and downs as if you were there yourself. A wonderful book that really everyone should read, especially in this day and age!
Japanese never come too late by Gijs van Middelkoop
Gijs van Middelkoop takes you on a journey through Japan in the book Japanese Never Come Late. Together with his girlfriend Aimée he gets on their bikes in this not very bicycle-friendly country. This regularly results in hilarious scenes. So if you feel like a special vacation by bike, this book is definitely recommended!
