11 Travel Novels That Will Make You Feel Like You're Adventuring Too
“The Alchemist,” Paulo Coelho
Part travel novel, part philosophical self-help book, “The Alchemist” is one of the biggest best-sellers in history. A young boy with a prophetic dream travels to Egypt to find his “treasure” in the great pyramids.
Along the way, various characters teach him about his personal legend, which is essentially one’s destiny or passion. A great read during your own soul-searching trip that will help realign you with the universe.
Armed with the knowledge of what to expect, and a few strategies, solo female travel in Morocco is not only possible but an enriching experience.
“Murder on the Orient Express,” Agatha Christie
Although certainly a darker theme than the others on this list, a good mystery is essential for long rides via bus, plane or train. “Murder on the Orient Express” is one of Agatha Christie’s top whodunnits.
A passenger is found stabbed to death in his compartment, with the door locked from inside. But beware, if you read it on a train, don’t be surprised if you become suspicious of everyone around you, snooping for clues just like Hercule Poirot.
