Books about Traveling, Questing, and embarking on a Sojourn or Sabbatical

I love to travel. And one of the beautiful things about traveling is not that you get to see new things and new sights - which is wonderful in itself. But that you can get a broad set of experiences.

I mean you can learn about people, cultures, and all kinds of things by travel. And most importantly, you can learn about yourself.

This page doesn't have your typical travel books. If you were looking for that I also have a page with some of those books right here: Travel Books.

 

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring
will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
-T.S. Eliot (Little Gidding)

 

Some of these books are in the public domain so any time there is a version available for free I have provided a link for you to download it. Some even have a free audio version. I have linked those for you too!

A note from Will: I could give you a summary or synopsis of all these books, or even a review. But.... to me that defeats the purpose. I say pick one based on as little information as possible (Cover and title) And then go on the journey with the author with no preconceptions.... let it unfold before you.
