THE Top 10 Books That Shaped THE WAY I Travel
Reading books about how to travel long-term in a way that is exciting and joyful and financially sustainable is super important. So is reading books on how to thoughtfully navigate the cultural nuances, complexities, and power dynamics of the places where we travel. And so is reading books that push us to reflect on the real reasons why we are traveling, and how to do it sustainably. After being a full-time digital nomad with no permanent base for over a decade, I’ve decided to narrow down my book recommendations and select my top ten. As a thank you for opting-in to the Monday Minute Newsletter, I will give you direct links to each of these books and explain why I selected them.

No long articles, just 3 short items I personally select each week through a global, cultural, and political lens. It might be my favorite neighborhood in a city, music artists from around the world, film or book recs about what’s really happening in a place, upcoming events where we can meet up, or the gear and apps I’m using on the road. After more than a decade of full-time nomading, I distill my most interesting discoveries into a newsletter you can read in 60 seconds each week.
