In 2017, I traveled the world… through books. In all, I read books that were set in 30 different countries, other than the United States. So I started a video series sharing some of those books, grouped alphabetically.
In this video, I talked about books from these 5 countries:

That’s awesome. To travel the world through the eyes of other peoples words, without leaving your home. It had to be a great experience.

It really is a great way to see the world through the eyes of a native and have experiences that you might now have as a tourist. Thanks for the comment, Patrick.
