Road Reads

As a full-time journalist specializing in travel, I spend a sizeable amount of time in transit.

I am often asked how I can stand ‘wasting’ so much time waiting in airports or flying for hours - sometimes days - to reach a destination.

Truth is, I am a bookworm of the most gluttonous sort. Discovering a new book, a new author, is like meeting a new friend. The downtime provides the perfect opportunity to get caught up on reading.

Airports, with a bookstore or newsstand on nearly every concourse corner, are great places to discover new titles, authors and magazines. And, booksellers in foreign airports often provide an excellent selection of the region’s best authors and stunning photographic books.

Listed below are (in no particular order) a few books I enjoy. Most of the books listed are set in destinations I have visited, others highlight places I still hope to see.

I encourage you to check in often, as the list is ever-evolving, ever- expanding, as I discover new favorites, or remember old ones.Have a favorite to share? Email me*.
