Thinking of solo travel but not sure where to start? START HERE!
Has this ever happened to you? You read a book that inspires you so much you have to visit that place?
We're not always in a position to travel but even if we can't, we can daydream through literature and history, through stories from books about other countries that take us there, at least in spirit.
This international books list represents suggestions from readers of Women on the Road, to which I've added books I have read and loved about the world. It's also a work in progress: Do you have a book you'd like to add, one that has inspired you to visit a city or country? If so please go to the bottom of this post and email me!
NOTE: Women on the Road publishes travel book reviews - by women or about women - once a month, in addition to the list below (which is not female-specific). You'll find those reviews HERE.
