This book offers a delightful recounting of her and her daughters' travel adventures, filled with humor, self-awareness, and vivid descriptions of their experiences. Stafford's lighthearted tone and attention to detail make for an engaging read, while the inclusion of Kate's journal entries adds depth to the narrative, providing multiple perspectives on their journeys. Congrats on BOTD.

“Who Will Accompany You? - My Mother-Daughter Journeys Far from Home and Close to the Heart” by Meg Stafford and her daughters Kate and Gale. Meg chronicles her trips with her daughters in exotic places in the world and the bug to travel stayed with Kate and Gale. Kate decided to go to Bhutan for her senior high school project at age 17 and Gale went to Columbia when she was age 23. Meg was supportive of their trips and traveled part of the way with each of them probably making sure they were ready to travel without her guidance. The book is not written like a travel brochure but rather a story one can envision being along for the trip. Meg added Kate’s journal entries, Gale’s emails and photos that really enhanced the stories. Meg’s writing was light-hearted, and her humorous tone also made the book even more enjoyable. I have added this 5 out of 5-star book to my to-read list.

Your review is fantastic, Sarah! From the sample, I gleaned that it was a family-centered travel bug story. But I was yet to glean the humour, the Tibetan Buddhism karma, dharma and other concepts you mention in the review, and, of course, all other adventures in Bhutan and Colombia. It feels like a perfect read for everyone fond of travel!

"This book will be a fitting read for fans of travelogues and vacation journals." This one phase explains pretty good why I will have to pass this book. Never was a fan and build my life according, no travels by work and even vacations are mostly some downtime in the country home, but I get the point - if I do travel it is to accompany loved ones. Congrats on BOTD!
