While social distancing may be the best thing for society right now, it already has us going a little stir-crazy! Combine that with the disappointment of canceled trips, and we need a little wanderlust pick-me-up. With that in mind, we’re going to be doing a series of blogs with ways to get your travel fix while staying home. Today’s feature: travel-themed books (both fiction and non!) that will transport you from your couch to sun-drenched beaches, misty forests, and glimmering cities around the world!
While our advisors all love to binge watch a great show as much as the next person, we also love to lose ourselves in a great travel book! There’s nothing like curling up in a comfy chair and losing yourself among the rolling hills and vineyards of Italy while reading Under the Tuscan Sun, capering about the corridors of The Plaza Hotel with Eloise or finding your inner Zen while following Elizabeth Gilbert on her journey of self-discovery in Eat, Pray, Love.
