I get so much more out of my travel when I have the chance to read about each place before and during my visit. Setting the stage with historical and political context, getting excited about the mood and culture of the place, feeling a connection through personal stories, whatever! I lean toward nonfiction, especially if it reflects my passions (social justice, Christianity, and food, to name a few), but I love the occasional page turner beach read too. Can you help me make my travel reading list?? I'd love to hear about anything that would be fun to read in any of the regions I'm planning to visit! My hope is that this becomes a living document that changes with all your feedback! (Of course, if I'm asking you for your recommendations, I may as well return the favor -- I included but crossed out the books I've already read that I'd recommend you read in these places! For more of my book recommendations, here I am on goodreads !) In or near Oaxaca, Mex
