The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton

I read this book very quickly while sitting on a 24 hour coach ride, and then in a German swimming pool's nude sauna area... The art of travel indeed!!
I took this book away with me with the full intention of leaving it somewhere along my trip. Problem is I enjoyed it too much so it's ended up coming home with me! My favourite takeaway from this book was the section on 'word painting' and reflecting on *why* you find a landscape pretty or interesting which I really liked as a concept and have been trying to put into practice in my own enjoyment of the world around me :)
