Lands of Lost Borders: Out of Bounds on the Silk Road by Kate Harris

5.0

adventurous funny informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

---

 Kate Harris writes about her experiences biking the Silk Road over nine months. She shares stories that go beyond exploration and adventure,  and writes about the histories and politics of place— as well how unnatural (and often destructive) the creation of borders has been. 

 

I loved this book, and found it inspiring (and kind of grounding... especially as someone who is restless and finds it hard to keep a routine/ be in one place for a long time). 

 

Not to mention Kate is queer, her wife’s name is also Kate AND they live in an off grid cabin in northern BC (Basically life goals).
