Top Five Tuesday was originally created by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm, but is now hosted by Meeghan @ Meeghan Reads. To participate, link your post back to Meeghan’s blog or leave a comment on her weekly post. I found this on Davida's Page @ The Chocolate Lady.

This week’s topic is International Travel. Meeghan says: "Whether it’s a fictional land or ours, let’s share all of those travels across countries, whether by sea, air, or land. You could even find a book where the characters jump over a border!"
I always used to like travelling, especially to foreigner countries. However, I didn't make it as far as many of the authors I read. But that makes it even more exciting. Today, I will take you from Europe (Norway, France, Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Turkey) to Afghanistan, then along the border around Russia through North Korea, China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Norway, and the Northeast Passage, after that around the United States and then to Iran. Have a good trip!

When you can't travel in real life, traveling by book is the next best thing. :D
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's even the better thing, Lark, don't you think? ;)
DeleteCan only agree with Lark.
DeleteIt's funny that you should say that, Lisbeth. Except for my youngest, you are by far the most travelled of my friends. LOL
DeleteI feel sometimes that my eagerness to travel goes down. However, mostly for longer trips. I still think it is so easy to travel in Europe these days, so that is always a treat.
DeleteSame here, Lisbeth. I used to love travelling, get out of the house, out of the country. Now, that I feel better where I am, that's not the case. And my health keeps me from too many adventures. Yes, in general, Europe is easy to travel but lately, there are so many roadworks in Germany that what took you three hours can take you double or even triple the time. My brother and his wife went to Northern Austria for the holidays and it took them thirteen hours to get there.
DeleteI love to travel via book!
ReplyDeleteSo do I, Deb. It's the best, especially if you get a little older.
DeleteI love to travel. The US is so massive, with such different climates and topographies, that it is so easy to find something new here. But I prefer my castles and lochs in Ireland and the UK <3
ReplyDeleteI always loved to travel, Sarah. But as I am getting older, it gets more difficult and I think I prefer travelling by book now.
