Yes, I know it's 2025, but it just occurred to me that maybe -- in these cold days of January -- the best way to travel is to park myself safely on the couch under a fleece blanket!

Seems like the perfect time to bring out a reading list I compiled for our Adaptive Travel Summit last September.
Fiction. Nonfiction. Memoir. Travel guides. Photography.
They're just a sprinkling of all the great books out there, but they represent some of my favorite "places to go" through the years!
READ AROUND THE WORLD 2024!
Travel and disability: Easy Beauty by Chloé Cooper Jones
Train travel: Around the World in 80 Trains by Monisha Rajesh (Loved the audiobook!)
Travel meditations & wanderlust: The Vagabond’s Way by Rolf Potts
Outdoor adventure & photography: Stories Behind the Images by Corey Rich
Go local: A Guide to the Great Gardens of the Philadelphia Region by Adam Levine
France and food: Chocolat by Joanne Harris (It’s also a movie!)
Denmark, winter, and happiness: The Little Book of Hygge by Meik Wiking
Spain (by an 80’s star turned travel writer!): Walking with Sam by Andrew McCarthy
Nigeria and humor: My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite
Japan and time travel: Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi (It's the first in a series!)
India, Australia, and search for family: A Long Way Home by Saroo Brierley (It’s also a movie called Lion!)
Where possible, I've linked to Bookshop.org which supports independent booksellers, but most of these are available everywhere, including the public library. Several make fantastic audiobooks too!
