I know, I know. What an odd addition to a travel blog. But it all started with books, this insatiable hankering for a juicy life. So I have to be true to how this blog comes to being. There should be a place for the book in this site, it is backpacking with a book for a reason. All these traveling started on page. From left to right. From right to left when I read my guilty pleasure, manga. 🙂 I linked all the books I’ve read to Amazon if you want to explore my reading life.

Fiction
Step into a world of limitless imagination and let your mind be whisked away to far-off lands, distant worlds, and magical realms. Reading fiction is like having a superpower – the power to escape reality and experience new adventures, emotions, and perspectives. So curl up with a good book, lose yourself in the pages, and let your imagination soar. It’s time to escape the mundane and embrace the magic of fiction!
