Must read travel books and surf travel books- www.thefreesurfer.com

Your (in)complete list of must read travel books!

A good book takes you away to another place and/or time. If you’re one of the lucky people who experienced this magic first hand, you’re most probably craving your next fix like any other addict. As much as this is how a good wave feels, this time I’m actually talking about travel books.

So what is a good (surf) travel book?

In my opinion, it’s exactly this. The ability to take you away. But If you’re sitting in a bus in South America, you probably don’t want to be taken to the 15th century Maluku Islands, right? However, if you’re at home, longing for another trip, this book might be the best thing that can happen to you? Same if you’re heading to Jakarta and hope to get a better historical understanding.

Because of this, I ordered the list by continents, regions or countries. I hope this makes it easier for you to find the book for your next trip.

I like to believe that the right book finds you at the right time! Maybe this list is nothing else than a little help for the right book to find you. The time is right!

The travel books on this list are great anyways. But if you’re heading somewhere soon, and need something to read in anticipation, I hope you find it here.

Other books are about traveling or specific about surf travel and take you on a ride around the world, rather than just one specific region. You can read them everywhere, any time. Simply because you love surfing, traveling, reading, or all of them together. Those are the first ones I’ll introduce to you.

One more thing

This list is incomplete. Feel free to write the books I’ve missed in the comments, and i’ll keep updating the list.
