Good for you, gruffle - it's neat because it takes us to wonderful and faraway I recommend Maiden Voyages: Writings of Women Travelers by Mary Morris . It has amazing stories by really interesting women travelers. I think you'll really enjoy it.

Salam :) i'm a Muslim teen living in Canada. I placed on hijab alhamdullilah and it rather is for the main section standard right here seeing that i stay in a brilliant city with a giant Muslim inhabitants. I do get the few ignorant comments and idiots in college although who ask stuff like "yo have been given a bomb below there hahaha". however the toughest section is being diverse out of your individuals. Being a Muslim, events, alcohol relationship boys wearing revealing clothing etc is haram, and mutually as i do no longer opt to try this besides, it rather is a sprint awkward to would desire to describe why i do no longer do it to those that evaluate it purely part of being a young person and its easy to them. Muslims living in Muslim international places truthfully have it extra handy whilst it incorporates setting up in. And with food it rather is a sprint no longer easy yet I constantly attempt to envision the label if i'm undecided of the climate. yet i does no longer wanna be the different faith no rely how complicated it gets and how diverse i think from actually everyone else, i'm happy to be Muslim :)

The Places in Between by Rory Stewart. i haven't read it, but it was reviewed in the New York Times. Stewart walked across Afghanistan in the middle of winter in 2002, he walked through many places that were still held by the Taliban. it should be a fascinating book, i can't wait to read it.

I just started this book The Shadow of Kilimanjaro by Rick Ridgeway, a mountaineer who decides to walk from Kilimanjaro across Kenya to the Indian Ocean. Sounds like maybe you'd like it.

Hand to Mouth to India- don't remember the author- was a guy who left home in England without a penny in his pocket and hitched all the way to India relying on the kindness of, usually considerably poorer than him, strangers to arrive at his destination. V interesting, but morallly sound? Not so sure!

I'm not an avid reader of such books, but I loved the Michael Palin books of his TV series. They make for a fascinating read

Bill Bryson is your man. His books are hilarious and very informative. He has the open mind and the curiosity of a young child. Try Down Under by him (it is about Australia, of course).
