My Travel Playlist on Audible
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
This classic has been on my reading list for ages. It has always been hard to make time to just sit down and read so my to-read list was incredibly long. Now that I “read” while I’m on the go, it’s so much easier. And I’m so grateful because this book is brilliant! Just as relevant today as it was 150 years ago, this is a must-read for every woman. The story of an underdog fighting her way through the world is a story that most of us can relate to.
Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
This is the quintessential traveler’s novel. This non-fiction account of Christopher McCandless’ life has inspired and broken the hearts of countless men and women. This story is about the passion for adventure that drives us all as well as the heartbreak that can come with the journey. I don’t want to give away the ending but it is a truly unforgettable tale.
Bossypants by Tina Fey
Ready for a good laugh? If you aren’t already in love with Tiny Fey, the wit and candor of this book will leave you enamored. This autobiographical story tells the tale of how Tina Fey got onto Saturday Night Live and went on to create 30 Rock. The already interesting story is made enthralling by her stellar writing skills.
The Prophet by Khalil Gibran
One of the world’s bestselling poets, Kahlil Gibran has struck a chord with generation after generation. The works of Khalil Gibran have inspired everyone from The Beatles to Gandhi to John F. Kennedy. This is the perfect book for lounging around on a rainy afternoon and thinking about what really matters.
Travels with Charley in Search of America by John Steinbeck
This is the true story of literary extraordinaire John Steinbeck and his poodle Charley. The duo travelled around the United States in the 1960s and had the adventure of a lifetime. Their tale will inspire you to hit the wide open road.
