August invites us to explore – whether via open roads or open pages. This issue shares accessible resources that blend travel with literary insight: one essay that reimagines how we journey, a blog pairing destinations and stories, and an immersive travel-writing platform. All freely accessible, all rich with the wanderlust of words. Let’s begin the adventure…
- What Travel Has Taught Me – About the World and Myself (On My Canvas)
A deeply personal essay by Priyanka Gupta, reflecting on how travel fosters mindfulness, simplicity, and a renewed connection to everyday life. It’s a moving exploration of how leaving home can illuminate what we’ve overlooked all along. - A Suitcase Full of Books — A Literary Travel Blog – Elizabeth, a librarian-turned-travel-blogger, pairs iconic literary settings with real-world places. From the streets of classic novels to hidden corners in modern stories, her blog invites travellers to “walk the worlds” they’re reading about.
- Intrepid Times — Travel Writing with Heart
Intrepid Times is an open-access platform featuring narrative non‑fiction travel writing from authors around the world. Their stories are immersive, personal, and wholly available to read – making it a perfect literary resource for readers who love travel stories with emotional and cultural depth.
These selections traverse more than just geography—they move through thoughts, cultures, and narrative styles. Next month: Fictional Journeys, exploring novels that transport us to new places without leaving our armchairs.
