What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding
This great travel memoir by Kristen Newman takes a fun look at solo travelling and what it's like venturing out in the world when so many are starting families and settling down. I particularly enjoyed this for her recanting of her many love affairs she had while in foreign countries, however she also touches on some heart-warming and relatable experiences. "What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding" is a light and easy to carry little book that's perfect for the plane or backpack. Click here to purchase:
Shantaram
Probably one of the best books I've ever read, Shantaram takes place in India and offers a wonderful perspective into the fascinating and grand city of then Bombay. Beautifully written, enticingly romantic and heart-felt, this book has been with me to Panama, Costa Rica, New Zealand and now Guatemala.
