Since I can't afford to do much traveling right now because school and student loans *cough cough* are draining my bank account, I now travel via books and the stories that I read. I love books that take me to a place that I have never been before or even back to places that I love. There are so many great books out there that take place all over the world:
Harry Potter - London, England
Inferno - Florence, Italy
The Da Vinci Code - Paris and Versailles, France
Angels and Demons - Rome, Italy and the Vatican City
And The Mountains Echoed - Kabul, Afghanistan; Paris, France; San Fransisco, CA and Tinos, Greece.
The Book Thief - Molching, Germany
The Lost Symbol - Washington, DC
P.S., I Love You - Ireland
The Secret Garden - Yorkshire, England
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Series - ...Everywhere
The Kite Runner - Kabul, Afghanistan; Peshawar, Pakistan; Fremont, CA
A Thousand Splendid Suns - Kabul and Herat, Afghanistan
Sarah's Key - Paris, France
Digital Fortress - Fort Meade, Maryland
Anne Of Green Gables - Prince Edward Island, Canada
Night - Auschwitz, Poland
The Alchemist - Spain and Egypt
The Fault in Our Stars - Indianapolis, Indiana and Amsterdam, The Netherlands
I love traveling through the world via books. One thing that I did learn while making this list is that I really need to try to branch away from Europe and North America. I read a lot of books from both places but hardly any from South America, Africa, or Asia. I will definitely make it a goal to read more books from different parts of the world.
