Book excerpt: As a professional travel writer and editor for the past 40 years, Don George has been paid to explore the world. Through the decades, his articles have been published in magazines, newspapers, and websites around the globe and have won more awards than almost any other travel writer alive, yet his pieces have never been collected into one volume. The Way of Wanderlust: The Best Travel Writing of Don George fills this void with a moving and inspiring collection of tales and reflections from one of America’s most acclaimed and beloved travel writers. From his high-spirited account of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro on a whim when he was 22 years old to his heart-plucking description of a home-stay in a muddy compound in Cambodia as a 61-year-old, this collection ranges widely. As renowned for his insightful observations as for his poetic prose, George always absorbs the essence of the places he’s visiting. Other stories here include a moving encounter with Australia’s sacred red rock monolith, Uluru; an immersion in country kindness on the Japanese island of Shikoku; the trials and triumphs of ascending Yosemite’s Half Dome with his wife and children; and a magical morning at Machu Picchu.

Book excerpt: “Thought-provoking, encouraging, and inspiring” (Gretchen Rubin) reflections on the power of travel to transform our daily lives—from the iconoclastic travel writer, scholar, and author of Vagabonding For readers who dream of travel, yearn to get back out on the road, or want to enrich a journey they’re currently on, The Vagabond’s Way explores and celebrates the life-altering essence of travel all year long. Each day of the year features a meditation on an aspect of the journey, anchored by words of wisdom from a variety of thinkers—from Stoic philosopher Seneca and poet Maya Angelou to Trappist monk Thomas Merton and Grover from Sesame Street. Iconoclastic travel writer and scholar Rolf Potts embraces the ragged-edged, harder-to-quantify aspects of travel that inevitably change travelers’ lives for the better in unexpected ways. The book’s various sections mirror the phases of a trip, including • dreaming and planning the journey: “All life-affecting journeys—and the unexpected wonders they promise—become real the moment you decide they will happen.” • embracing the rhythms of the journey: “The most poignant experiences on the road occur in those quiet moments when we recognize beauty in the ordinary.” • finding richer travel experiences: “Developing an instinct to venture beyond the obvious on the road allows you to see places as mysteries to be investigated.” • expanding your comfort zone: “No moment of instant gratification can compare to savoring an experience that has been earned by enduring the adversity that comes with it.” The Vagabond’s Way encourages you to sustain the mindset of a journey, even when you aren’t able to travel, and affirms that travel is as much a way of being as it is an act of movement.

Download or read book Wanderlust written by J. L. Shilan(ski). This book was released on 2017-11-07. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A DAY BY DAY CHRONICLE OF A YOUNG MAN'S ADVENTURE AND AN OLD MAN'S MEMORY ... As a child, Jerry Shilan(ski) discovered that he suffered from an incurable disease. Before he was six years old, he knew he had a real need to find out what was on the other side of the hill, - and around every bend. He also wanted to know who put it there - and why. Someone told him he had a bad case of WANDERLUST, and the only way to cure it was to travel. Fate turned him onto Richard Halliburton books and National Geographic Magazines. As soon he was able, he took to the road on a life long journey to see as much of the world as possible. The first leg of this 78 year old's trek was a solo fifteen day hitch-hiking trip across the continent to the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. It was the defining experience of his life and in these pages he recounts the sights that he saw and the people he met on this extraordinary adventure that set the tone for a lifetime of Wandering and Wondering about the world.This book, fifty years in the making, is part memoir, part travelogue, and part geography and history lesson. Poignant profiles of the people he encountered along the way move the story through ten states and nearly 3,000 miles. The book is also sprinkled with trivia, recollections, reflections, philosophical musing, and self analyzation. Dialogue between the author and his traveling companions is often amusing and enlightening. WANDERLUST is an uplifting snap shot of life as it was fifty plus years ago and how traveling and meeting an array of people propelled a young man into a life well lived. ... "I spent $24 on the necessities of life, $25 on colored film, and the longest I waited for a ride was one hour and five minutes. It was a different time" - Jerry Shilan(ski)
