the end of the year is just that time for favorites lists – and i’ve written about the best travel books many times over! i love talking about travel books. why? because part of the tool belt of any traveler is a good book. long bus, train, or plane rides can get pretty boring and can give you a lot of “dead” time if you haven’t mastered the art of the 10-hour blank stare. additionally, reading travel books helps you learn about the destinations you are visiting. the more you know about a place, the more you can understand a place.
i am a voracious reader and have even started a book club on this website to share all the books i read. today is another one of those days where i share some of the books i’ve read recently! if you’re looking for some great reads, here are my current list of the best travel books to inspire you to travel far-off lands:
Christmas Day is celebrated on December 25. The traditional food is turkey, Christmas cake and Christmas pudding. People believed then that their light helped them to forget the darkness of winter.
The 8th of March is a happy and nice holiday. Each family celebrates this spring holiday: in the morning, men go to the shops to buy some flowers; they try to clean flats and to cook a holiday dinner.
Sons help their fathers too: they make a cake, lay the table and wash dishes after holiday dinner.
There is almost the same holiday in England. It is called Mothers' Day and celebrated also in spring. Flowers and cakes are the traditional gifts for all women England.
All women try to be nice and happy on this day.
