Travelling isn’t something I’m generally that into due to a few health problems I have that can make things like keeping myself fed, well-rested, and pain-free more complicated than they probably are for most people.
I do like reading about travelling, though, so here are ten books about that.
1. Spirited Waters: Soloing South Through the Inside Passage by Jennifer Hahn
2. Looking for Transwonderland: Travels in Nigeria by Noo Saro-Wiwa
3. Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie: The Oregon Trail Diary of Hattie Campbell by Kristiana Gregory
4. Llamas & Empanadas: 5000 Kilometres by Bicycle Through South America by Eleanor Meecham
5. The Far Traveler: Voyages of a Viking Woman by Nancy Marie Brown
6. The Crystal Desert: Summers in Antarctica by David G. Campbell
7. The Last Man on the Moon: Astronaut Eugene Cernan and America’s Race in Space by Eugene Cernan
8. Kalashnikovs and Zombie Cucumbers: Travels in Mozambique by Nick Middleton

10. Hot Sour Salty Sweet: A Culinary Journey Through Southeast Asia by Jeffrey Alford
How do you all feel about traveling?
Armchair traveling is the best way to go when actual traveling proves to be a little bit more work! I’m super intrigued by Hot Sour Salty Sweet, I love to cook and that looks right up my alley! My TTT: https://www.literacious.com/2025/05/20/top-ten-tuesday-middle-grade-books-with-travel/
Nice! And agreed.
I love armchair travel, and I think of myself as well-read in armchair travel books, and yet I have read none of these. I must look for some of these.
I hope you like them!
Ooh I read a bicycle travel one recently and can’t remember details but those experiences must be awesome! Great list, thanks for checking out mine too
You’re welcome. 🙂 Yeah, bicycle travel sounds fun.
