]]>The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
One of the most popular books of all time, The Alchemist follows a young shepherd’s journey from Spain to Egypt. He does this in such an earnest way that you won’t be able to resist getting inspired by his journey. Perhaps this quote from the book sums it up best: “If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man.”
On the Road by Jack Kerouac
Set in the Beat Generation, this is about as classic a travel book as you can find. Jack Kerouac tells the story of Sal as he leaves New York City and travels west, discovering all kinds of new adventures in the process. More than anything, he learns a lot about his own strength and confidence.
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
This isn’t usually the first book people jump to when they think about traveling the world in the modern sense. That’s because The Hobbit is set in the fictional world of Middle Earth, so perhaps there isn’t much commonality there. But as far as inspiring one to have an adventure, The Hobbit is one of the best books you can find. Given that the protagonist is an innocent halfling who gets yanked out of his comfy life to go aid a group of dwarves on a perilous quest with mountains, goblins, and dragons—this certainly fits the bill.

N I K K I ☆ 
One of the best books to read on a trip is The Life of Pi by Jan Martel. Many travelers cling to their copy and find it difficult to let it go even at the end of the trip.
The book tells the fascinating story of five survivors of a sunken ship—an orangutan, a zebra, a hyena, a Bengali tiger, and Pi Patel, a 16-year-old Indian boy—huddled together in a small lifeboat.
Life of Pi is a story about a boy who was named after the French word for swimming pool Piscine. Pi's character seems interesting when he seems interested in practicing 3 religions at the same time. And how due to the political issues in India, they were forced to board Tsimtsum and move to Canada. Part two shows Pi's struggles and hardships he faces and it covers most of the book. Part three, when two officials hear about Pi being the only survivor and interview him even though they find it hard to believe that he survived that long with a tiger as a companion. 
This is a wonderful journey novel that describes a rare story of heroism and faith, full of inspiration, and also deals with coping with fear wherever it is.
The book contains many insights into the human soul, survival in difficult conditions, family, loneliness, and hope.
The book Life of Pi, which has also become a motion picture, is a favorite book by many young people during a journey.

]]>Realistic Goals
Set realistic reading goals so you wouldn’t end up packing more books than you need. If you’re spending most of your time relaxing at the beach or a hotel room, you’ll have a lot of time for reading at your disposal. If you’re sightseeing and visiting museums all day long, chances are you’ll be pretty tired by the end of the day.
Long Commute
If your trip includes long rides by bus or train, packing more books than you usually do is a good idea, since they come in handy when you want to pass the time.
(@monicakim.jpg)Saving Space
The longer your trip is, the more books you’ll need, but you’re probably going to bring a bigger suitcase. Figure out how many books you can read during this time, and don’t pack any more than necessary since they’re heavy and take up too much space. If you don’t have enough room for physical copies, ebooks and audiobooks are a great alternative.
