Three books we would pack.

RECOMMENDED READINGWayfarer · December 20261 min readChecked 10 November 2026

In Patagonia by Bruce Chatwin — a classic of modern travel writing, built from short, sharp episodes. Read it for the voice.

A Time of Gifts by Patrick Leigh Fermor — a young man's walk across Europe in the 1930s, remembered decades later. Read it for the prose and the sense of place.

Shadow of the Silk Road by Colin Thubron — a journey from China to the Mediterranean, full of conversation and observation. Read it for the people.

Prices, dates, permits and rules change — approximate, verify before you travel. Researched from public sources; field verification pending.
