Alte FriedmanNeither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe by Bill Bryson
This product was recommended by Astrid Thornton from Seek Scandinavia
Neither Here Nor There is a hilarious yet touching take on a tour around Europe that Bryson undertook in 1990, while also recalling a similar trip he took as a college student in the 1970s. The comparison between the two adventures is beautifully done, with Bryson managing to describe the different people and cultures he comes across in a way that will have you in tears both from laughter and from the affection the author clearly has for what and who he finds. This definitely isn’t a Lonely Planet-style book, with tips on what to see in each place Bryson visits. Instead, as he crosses from Hammerfest in Norway to Istanbul, you’ll be taken along with the author as, with his trademark wit, he uncovers a side of each city – and himself – that no tourist guide would come close to covering. But it’s those same descriptions of each place that may just have you booking your next flight out before you know it, in the hope of having the same experiences that Bryson does. No guarantees that you’ll be able to write about them as well as he does, though.

The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton
This product was recommended by Michael Liam Miller from Luxury Cars A2Z
There is so much travel literature that tells us where we should go next that we lose the whole purpose of traveling. Luckily, Alain de Botton’s book The Art of Travel points us in the right direction and answers ‘how?’ and ‘why?’ when it comes to traveling. Unlike other travel-themed books that add to the daydream of travel, this book takes an honest and philosophical outlook on the reasons that we travel and sheds light on reasons we never wanted to know before, for instance, the location of your dreams can sometimes not live up to its expectations.
