A Year of Travel
Traveling around the world for one year might seem like a dream, but it is doable with some advance planning and sufficient savings. Not only can it open your eyes to different cultures and expand perspectives but it may help overcome social anxiety issues as well.
An annual vacation shouldn’t just be about relaxing and partying; rather, it should be an adventure filled with experiences, new connections, and journal entries to share along the way. A year out can also be financially daunting depending on your spending preferences; therefore, be ready to make sacrifices as you go along your journey.
Two graphic designers designed these pocket-sized notebooks after finding that having just one type of paper wasn’t conducive to creativity. Their Sea, Air and Space pack includes nautical charts, dot grid papers and other sources of inspiration – they call this set “Men Eat Pray Love!!”

Chris McCandless’ Into the Wild provides an inspiring travelogue that illustrates his life-altering journey – it will show you how to follow your own dreams and take risks for what matters to you; making this book an essential travel companion for people seeking more meaningful lives and exciting journeys.
Lost Intentionally: The Inner and Outer Journey of a Spiritual Nomad
Digital nomads are travelers who seek experiences to challenge their beliefs and broaden their worldview. These digital nomads often enjoy exploring new places, learning about diverse cultures and making connections with people from diverse backgrounds. Living this lifestyle may also allow for personal development and untangling complex relationships – one influencer shared how her nomadic journey helped foster empathy towards people living in poverty.
Lost Intentionally is an engaging memoir written by former corporate lawyer Monique Giroux that chronicles her journey from stress-filled living to one filled with serenity and happiness, exploring the relationship between humanity, spirituality and nature. After leaving Toronto behind and embarking upon this epic quest in Bali, Monique made bold steps forward on this path less traveled – forgoing business suits for more laid back apparel while forgoing Toronto home as she courageously chose an alternative path – Lost Intentionally chronicles this incredible tale with compelling insight. It recounts her transformation from stressful existence into joy-filled living while uncovering intrinsic connections among humanity spirituality and nature as she travels along this epic adventure.
This memoir is ideal for anyone seeking an escape from modern life and exploration of nature. The author takes readers on an unforgettable bike adventure from Oregon’s mountains all the way down to Patagonia; her inner resolve strengthening with each step, her philosophical questions stimulating thought and inspirational insight; this is truly a book to treasure forever.
Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail
Cheryl Strayed decided to hike the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) following her mother’s death and subsequent divorce as an attempt to find herself and regain control of her life. Determined to do it solo, this epic trek spans over 1,100 miles through fourteen national parks. Her memoir became a New York Times bestseller which was later turned into an inspirational tale of survival, personal growth, and perseverance that became a film starring Reese Witherspoon.
Though its target audience may be narrow, this book can provide much to those interested in understanding what it takes to become a long-distance hiker or simply dealing with difficult circumstances. Many critics who bemoan its length and stylistic infelicities do not realize that its driving questions rather than any specific details about a trail provide its true power of attraction.
Readers follow Strayed as she gradually gains her footing on the trail and finds food at staging posts (which often consist of little more than tarps on the side of a road), eventually reaching her destination at its end. Along her journey she discovers that her body can drastically change within three months as she battles her own shifting perception of weight issues and attempts to adjust relationships to their body that were holding her back – yet by the end of it all, she has changed many beliefs that had held her back previously.
