adventurous informative tense medium-paced

Haven't read a lot of travelogues, despite being a huge travel fan, but Children of the North was a fun, adventure packed travelogue that had me hooked till the end. Written in a clear, simple language, narrating both the story and human emotions/nature, Children of the North is half a story of actual travel, and half of the group's RETURN from their travel on which they encountered a situation which was unfathomable at that moment, and made for a dear, adventurous tale to think about later. 
Based on 4 friends and their travel up north of Pakistan, this book would resonate with any travel enthusiast, adventure seeker or just anyone looking for a good story to read. Glad I read it myself enroute a tour, so the association formed is a strong one. Might just resume writing my own travel stories after this. 😅 A good read.
