Backpacking Bookworm

For culturally diverse books that transport us to unexplored places.

I’m on a journey to seek out books that broaden our horizons. From cultural differences and traditional customs, to diverse subject matter and historical events, I’m fascinated by life outside of our own experiences.

Join me, Backpacking Bookworm, and explore a range of reading lists, honest reviews, and unique travel experiences inspired by books.
