20 Best Books For Wanderlust (2023 Update)

I was given this book as a gift and took it overseas to write about my trip in Europe. It has questions to answer, quotes to inspire you and so much more. I decided to buy it for my girlfriends daughter for her 21st as she loves reading, travel and being solo. It's the perfect companion.Miami

Bought this book for my daughter who was traveling Europe for 4 weeks. She was too tired tow rite each night. It's quite a hard book and a fair size so not easy to just pop in your handbag. She said there is not a lot of sections for the countries she visited. So if you were going to many countries you are limited. Hope that makes sense.cobbygirl

WANDERLUST by definition means a strong desire to travel. While I have not had much of the opportunity to travel my list of places I want to see one day is always growing. If you have even a tiny bit of Wanderlust in your soul than this book is totally for you! It is filled with everything your traveling heart could possibly need. Top festivals around the world, most romantic places, beautiful road trip routes, best diving spots, and famous movie locations are just a few of the awesome chapters you’ll find within the pages of this book.jennifer.v

This is amazing. I think it’s a must have for anyone seeking adventure or anyone wanting to learn about new places. It is very well organized and could spend a lifetime exploring all of the places included. I am giving this as a gift and I can she her planning her next adventure based on this book.Julius

Granted, it doesn't give you everything about each country – just the important facts that help to make relevant choices as when to visit, what to see, etc. Very worthwhile.dbrock30509

I bought this book to generate conversations and fun between me and my fiancé. We live in 2 different areas of the country so when we get together it is full of quality time. The book has scratch off sections that do not work. You end up scratching of the entire information. Very dissatisfied and disappointed. During this time of COVID 19 it is disappointing that this book doesn’t deliver what it promised.– Dirk Hansondirk.h

They didn't have the friends edition listed to review but thats the one I've used. Although I did get the couples edition with it. Not sure if illnusenthat one but the friends one is fun we just did our first adventure that was something different. I can't wait to see what the others are like. The mystery of it makes it exciting. I do wish these books were a little cheaper but it is fun and probably worth it since it will last awhile. The camera option is ridiculously expensive though considering that nothing is included with it. I didnt get that off the site but instead got basically the same instant camera on Amazon for probably 80$ cheaper and it included everything along with a neat travel case.sarah.l

This is such a great idea and the packages is literally amazing. These books are made to last too, like they aren’t made cheap! Well worth it and the icons beside the activities are a great way to indicate which ones to scratch at that time.amber.v

This is a perfect book for your coffee table or a gift for a traveler or even a teenager. The segments are shorts and easy to read and the content is fascinating. I recommend this book to anyone. I have the first edition and glad I purchased the second edition. The price on Zulily is competitive if not better than Amazon.wnf71

A Christmas gift.. this was perfect for some one who loves oddities, history and seeing unusual item and the book and well written and illustrated tooshopgirl

It's a great coffee table book. The book looks lovely sitting on our coffee table. And it brings me great joy watching my children enjoy flicking through it. I would definitely recommend buying it to a friend.Saleechi

I bought this book for my son who absolutely loves National Geographic. He loves looking at new places in the world and dreaming of future vacations. This book is beautifully done and makes me want to book a vacation now too!Momto6!

I bought this book as a gift, but on flicking through it appears to be an excellent account of so many beautiful places in the world that I would never have thought of visiting.Marg

Liked this book so much, I ordered for another couple for Christmas. Not the usual bucket list cities but exciting nonetheless. Off the beaten track is sometimes a better alternative! Enjoyed reading about how this couples plans were made progressed.perchedinparadise

We live in an age of swipe right, quick thumbs up and move on, often finding ourselves caught in a state of "doom scrolling" where we aren't even really SEEING any of the images on our social media account. We've become so removed from the natural world. To make things worse its impossible to deny that the current state of our society is growing uglier by the day. Crime rates are rising, people are fighting, towns are too poor to fix pot holes or keep up with any sort of landscaping. It is so easy to fall into the belief that the entire world is this way; I know personally I am guilty of this. I often feel restless and uninspired and disappointed in what I see out my window. Let's Get Lost is a much needed wake up call. It's an invitation to power down and really take in some of the most beautiful spots in the world. Mountains with peaks that glow red and pink at dawn, untouched shores and rivers and paths, forests that beg to be wandered in to. Many of these places are untouched to at least some degree by humans so the natural world is left to really thrive and develop a sense of beauty and wonder that takes your breath away. I had never even heard of many of these places, but I found myself going through my e-copy several times over, lingering a little more on each photo every time I returned to it. This is certainly NOT a read once and never touch again book; That would be near impossible. So power down for a little while, turn off the news and open this book. Dare to be inspired and Awe'd, to expand your mind and perception of yourself and of life itself. I received an e-copy from Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I can honestly say that the e-book blew me away but I truly feel the need to go out and purchase a physical copy to I can fully experience the weight of the impact between these pages.J

Excellent photography; beautiful, personal stories; inspiring. A perfect book for a coffee table book/housewarming gift, coworker or friend gift 🙂Olivia Z.

This inch thick, full color book looks at parks and their surroundings from east to west, across our country as a motivational look of great potential. A get-out-of-your armchair and see the possibilities for adventure and mind engaging freshness.BENJAMIN M.

A Woman's Passion for Travel: True Stories of World Wanderlust is a collection of forty-two travel experiences as written by various women. These stories educate, inspire, and entertain readers with the lessons learned and situations survived by these adventurous world travelers. This book is separated into five sections: Passion for Travel, Some Things To Do, Going Your Own Way, In the Shadows, and The Last Word. Passion for Travel contains twelve articles. All of the articles in this section are written by women who travel because of their passion or with a great deal of passion. Stories range from the hilarious Looking for Abdelati (that follows the author through an obstacle course of misunderstandings and extremely strange experiences to the house of Abdelati) to the heartwarming Guardians of the Dark (that shares the power of the female bond as the author and her young daughters spend time in Mexico). The second section of this book, Some Things To Do contains twelve articles. The title of this section suggests that it might contain articles that reveal great things for women to do while traveling. However, as I read many of these articles I often felt both horrified and strangely proud of these women as they not only survived but also thrived in these difficult situations. I think this section should have been called Some Things Not To Do, the title of one article, Scorpion Hunting, probably says it all. Going Your Own Way, the third section, also contains twelve articles. This section is full of inspiring tales of women who used travel to remake and renovate their lives. Some of these accounts are fall on the floor hilarious, like the Lushes (best described as wine, women, and song) and Toiletopia (where the author speaks at an interesting conference). Others such as Italian Affair and Three's a Crowd are inspiring and touch the reader deeply as these women find embark on a new chapter of their lives. In the Shadows is a little shorter than the previous sections, containing only five articles. These articles remind us about the dangers of traveling alone in foreign countries and the realities of life for women around the world. My favorite article in this section was Where is the Girl Who Speaks English? This article poetically and tastefully demonstrates the realities of life for women in many countries while sliding in a little grain of hope. The Last Word contains the final article My Mother's Boots. I think this is an apt article to end this book. Not only does this article provide a powerful image of the female traveler but it also illustrates a continuation between our mothers and us as adventures and passionate travelers. A Woman's Passion for Travel: True Stories of World Wanderlust is entertaining and inspirational. This book leaves the reader with a renewed sense of purpose. The reader is also inspired to be more adventurous, more confident, more willing to be themselves.fibro_doc
