<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A practical guide to traveling in the best way possible, featuring 20 essays for inspiration and advice in a broad range of scenarios.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>An original and comprehensive look at what it is we seek when we set off on an adventure abroad.</b> <p>Going traveling is one of the few things we undertake in a direct attempt to make ourselves happy--and frequently, in fascinating ways, we fail. We get bored, cross, anxious, or lonely. It isn't surprising: our societies act as if going traveling were simple, just a case of handing over the right sum of money. But a satisfying journey isn't something we can simply buy, and sadly something that should fill us with excitement can often end up being a source of angst and stress. <p>This is the guide: not to any one destination but to travel in general. It talks to us, among other things, about how we should choose a place to go, what we might do when we get there, how we should make good moments stick in our minds and why hotel rooms can be such liberating places... In a succession of genial essays, we become students of an unexpected but vital topic: how to understand and more fully relax and enjoy (what should be) some of the finest experiences of our lives.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>***What readers are saying: ***<br><p>"I love this book on the philosophy of traveling alone. I was absolutely riveted by the essays. I highly recommend this book." - <i>NetGalley review</i></p> <p/><p>"How to Travel helped me narrow down where I want to travel to, why I want to travel there, and who I want to travel with. The blank pages included gave me room to respond to the questions posed in the essays, which made the reading experience that much more enjoyable. I highly recommend this book to anyone who dreams of experiencing a culture or world outside of their own but can't decide on a place." - <i>Feefo review</i></p> <p/><p>"A lovely collection of thought provoking short essays with note pages for jotting down things like 'useful foreign phrases' or to 'give drawing a go'. So enjoyable, and a perfect gift for someone preparing to travel." - <i>Amazon review</i></p> <p/><p>"A book for travelers not tourists, little stories of places, people, experiences and peace to feed the soul. Travelling is a journey and every part of the journey needs to be enjoyed, even the airport. Can imagine the author writing beautiful journals to extract just a few of these musings to put into this book. Absolutely loved it and have read it twice." - <i>NetGalley review</i></p><p>"How to Travel is the perfect size to slip into your backpack for your next trip. It'll look fantastic next to your passport, and boarding pass. This book is also a great gift for those in your life, whether they travel or not, since there's a lot of information about what staying at home can look like, and how that in itself is a form of travel." - <i>Avocado Diaries</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>The School of Life is a global organization helping people lead more fulfilled lives.
