It is all about following your dreams and about taking the risk of following your instincts, which is so difficult to do and there are very few people in this world who actually do it. In this book, Elizabeth Gilbert describes how the main character follows her heart, stepping outside her comfort zone. The author talks about a stage in our journey towards realizing our dreams both literally and figuratively and how the main character overcomes her fear of letting go of what was so familiar and comfortable. It is a heart-warming, inspirational tale told by a formidable yet ordinary human being. It is firstly a voyage on the literal road. It is also a voyage of self-discovery. But this book can inspire you and that’s the magic of this writer. I instantly connected to her writing style, her storytelling, her character. The story weaves between settings, the past, and the present. I laughed and cried and fell in love and never wanted this book to end. So beautifully written, I am at a loss for words to convey how much I loved this book and how sad I was to finish it. - 1,000 Places to See Before You Die (Patricia Schultz) If you love descriptive guides, you will be pleased with this wonderful oversized book filled with pictures. The book is divided into several sections. Each section contains maps and pictures and covers Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
