Inspiration to follow dreams

The author of the book titled "It's your turn chickadees" wrote about the need to experience different cultures, different places as if she knew exactly the deepest nooks of my soul, of my core. This very personal process of receiving transitory impressions during traveling, that the author described, is so much my own style of sensations in my heart, in my body, and in my mind. As I am reading this book I am moved that somebody was able to describe so accurately what was going on in my own interior world during my few travels. (I wonder if other readers feel the same way.) This book did not impregnate me with "something" that I did not have inside before. (If somebody does not have this "something" yet - I mean a love for traveling - then they will have it after reading book, for sure.) However; this book fluttered my very existence, and inspired me to follow my dreams. I am not even in the middle of the book yet, but I have already made the decision to leave my school for one semester to go to Europe to satiate my craving for wanderlust. What I have always wanted and I want is to travel, to explore, to experience the different atmospheres of different places and to attempt to freeze these special moments by taking photographs. The biggest value of this book, beside beautiful, interesting, picturesque descriptions of nature, atmosphere, events, people, habits and architecture is . . . teaching, and finally, making the reader not only dream the dreams, but first of all to follow and actualize them. What is important in life if not this state of spirit when you feel childish, genuine happiness of exploring unknown places? I am glad that the writer reminded me of this obviousness in such an alluring and tempting way.

Stimulating travel essays which encourage family travel

This book is a must read for any young mother who still has the creative energy for wanderlust. Ms. Gaziano brings her family to England, and in the process, bonds the family tightly together, and stimulates a curiosity about and a knowledge of foreign cultures in her five sons which no formal education could accomplish. She offers answers for creatively managing the strain of young family life.
