In reply to Trinity. Maybe next time you can nip into one of these bookstores for a little more inspiration :)

My trips to NYC are always so quick. I usually sneak in an o’dark-thirty run and last time I finally got to run in Central Park.

In reply to Alex. Nice! Their site is really fun, I like how it has become so much bigger than the four of them. Awesome that you play a part in that :)

In reply to Andrea. It all started when I was featured as their Lost Girls of the Week... I started up an e-friendship with them and when an editing position opened up they asked and I accepted! I'm really grateful for the opportunity, they are really inspiring girls.

I’m pretty jealous about that! I was on the waiting list for the Kindle version of The Lost Girls at my library FOREVER and when I finally got it, I couldn’t put it down for the next few days! How did you get that gig?

I think you’d like the Tales From Nowhere book, it’s a collection of stories about different people’s experiences with traveling to places that are considered “nowhere.” I read most of it while I was preparing to move to Korea, and it is definitely inspiring!

In reply to Andrea. Andrea, do you know that I work for the The Lost Girls website? So funny! Amanda, one of the authors and my boss, is absolutely lovely. I've never heard of Lonely Planet Tales From Nowhere, I'll have to check it out!

Ahh, that bookstore looks amazing! So far my two favorite travel books have been “The Lost Girls” and “Lonely Planet Tales from Nowhere.” But I also really liked Eat, Pray, Love…I love any book that makes me want to hop on a plane!

In reply to Alex. Bryson's writing is great! You might enjoy A Walk In the Woods as well; it's his account of hiking the Appalachian Trail. And now I'm off to explore some of the books other commenters have recommended...

In reply to Heather. Glad I could help, Heather! I've been meaning to try Bill Bryson for years, and I'm not sure how it hasn't happened! Maybe this is the kick in the pants I need :)
