Review

“…this is a beautiful, well-constructed coffee table book. It’s clearly intended to serve as inspiration for future trips, rather than a detailed logistical guide…it was exactly the information I needed to decide if I was potentially interested in each trip.” –Doing Dewey Decimal

“This lovely book will have you fantasizing about all the trips you never knew you wanted to take.” –A Bookish Way of Life

“This book is all about being human – it’s about experiences and quenching our thirst for adventure and our curiosity about the past…literally makes you want to fly out of your seat and go somewhere you have never been…5 stars, I love it.”
—Ms. Nose in a Book

“Reading Journeys of a Lifetime is total wish-fulfillment for practically every travel junkie there is.” –Jathan and Heather

“I have seen so many breath taking pictures within this book that if I could I’d hop on a plane and travel far and wide to see them all.”
