The end of summer comes and all we have left are our traveler’s blues. Maybe you’re missing all of your summer travels, maybe you just couldn’t get enough travel over summer break, or maybe you did none at all. For all those who feel like they’re missing out, here is the perfect book/playlist to knock the edge off of that wanderlust. Each song is named/based after a location and is paired with book related to that location.
Here we go, reading around the world!
