An innocent abroad – A Lonely Planet original
I really enjoyed this book. I think it’s a great one a long trip on an airplane or if you are in the mood for short stories. In this book all your favorite authors like Alexander McCall Smith, Virginia Abbott, Cheryl Strayed and even David Eggers writes about their life changing trips. This is also a fun way to get to know some new authors. There are 35 stories total all by different authors.
