In A Sunburned Country (Bill Bryson) – an Australian journey from east to west, through little mining towns, forgotten coastal cities, off-the-beaten-paths, forests. Travel in awe, sometimes fear (jellyfish, riptides, crocs, spiders, sharks, snakes).

Turn Right at Machu Picchu (Mark Adams)  roughing it through pristine Peru in search of incredible Inca ruins, awesome ancient cities.

A Year of Living Danishly (Helen Russell) – figure out why Danes are so happy? From childcare, education, food, interior design to taxes, sexism, a funny poignant story. Informative, hilarious, self-deprecating, a great story of someone trying to fit in.
