Who Will Accompany You? is a book by Meg Stafford and her daughters, Gale and Kate Stafford. It is a book about three women who enjoy traveling and their experiences while visiting different countries. These three strong women tabled their experiences in a couple of ways, like in journals and emails, all in order to better document their experiences.

Meg, the mother of Gale and Kate, comes from a family of people who enjoy traveling. The same trait begins to reveal itself in her daughters, even when they are little. When Kate decides to travel to Bhutan for her senior project, a distressed Meg, along with her husband, decides that she will travel part of the way with Kate. During her travels, Meg participates in a lot of physical activities and meets up with an old friend. While she rediscovers the part of herself that enjoys traveling solo to random places, Kate, having learned different perspectives on the definition of happiness, begins her journey to finding happiness. Amidst meditations and talks about the Buddhist religion, Kate gathers a lot of new knowledge. She gets a different perspective on life and happiness, and by the end of her trip, she comes up with her own definition of happiness. I encourage you to pick up this book and follow them on their journey.

I really appreciated that a mother wrote this book alongside her daughters. I think this widens the audience this book may appeal to. It becomes easier for a parent to read this book, and their children can also appreciate it. I also really liked how Meg was able to pursue her preferences despite being married to Duke, who wasn't much of a traveler. It was nice to see a depiction of a couple who both had different individual preferences being allowed to enjoy those preferences without pressure from their partner and without being made to look like they were doing the wrong things. It shows that partners can live their dreams without the risk of destroying their relationship. This book was also exceptionally well edited; I could not find a single error in it. This is particularly a plus for me because nothing disturbed my reading.

However, I found the lack of excitement this book carried worrisome. For a book about journeying and traveling, the book was quite dull and did not come with the thrill I had expected when I opted to read it. I would have expected a bit more excitement from a book that detailed the journeys of three different women in different countries. Sadly, it didn't have that for me.

I give this book a rating of 4 out of 5 stars. I did not give it a perfect rating because, despite its positive aspects, the book's delivery was poor. However, I couldn't give it a lower rating because it covered up this issue in other areas.

I would recommend this book to any adventurous person who enjoys traveling. I would also recommend it to couples struggling with different preferences.
