~My Thoughts~
Well this book is perfectly wonderful. Not only is it full of beautiful photographs, but it also contains an amazing amount of information about each destination. In fact, one of my friends is planning a trip to Tokyo and I couldn’t wait to show him the pages about it.
This book added so many destinations to my travel bucket list. It wasn’t just the destinations that I loved, but the activities that I could find there. Epic Journeys is a beautiful reminder of the wonders and adventures that can be had in this world. My wanderlust is in overdrive right now.
This is a perfect gift for the travel lover in your life, but also makes a great coffee table book that would be an instant conversation starter! I’m letting my teacher friend take it to his class. Maybe it will inspire some young minds to start dreaming and exploring.
