Do you also freakin' love reading? Because for me, I've found that reading on the road, especially when reading about a country I'm travelling through, really enriches my travel experience. Books can ignite our imagination, fuel our wanderlust, and remind us of the infinite possibilities that await. Each book I read helps me grow, introspect and ponder, but certain books truly changed my life - so today, I want to share with you a few of the best books I've ever read; books that have truly given me something of great value. 5 of My Favourite

I highly recommend it to anybody who struggles with nagging self-doubt or feelings of not being worthy. We all struggle with our inner demons, awareness is the key to defeating them.
2. Atomic Habits by James Clear
A must-read for ANYBODY who is looking to be more efficient.
There are some solid strategies and info in here on how to build habits that stick, although honestly, the book is quite long and somewhat repetitive. You might be better off reading a summary instead ;)
3. Greenlights by Mathew McConaughey
One of my favourite books, filled with incredible wisdom on the importance of saying no, finding your why, taking risks and learning from them.
McConaughey is a fucking boss and one of my personal heroes so I expected big things when I started β I was blown away by this book, highly recommend.
4. Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss
Perhaps the greatest collection of snippets of info and words of wisdom from the world's most successful people ever comprised. This book is a goldmine...
All you have to do is spot the correlations and you can quickly figure out what works. This is a much more effective way of hunting down wisdom than listening to endless podcast interviews.
5. The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll
Journalling has brought me personally so much peace, growth, introspection and clarity. To get the most out of your journalling practice, this book is a good place to start when it comes to designing your own journaling system.
Sharing YOUR Favourite Reads
I'm big into sci-fi, history books, travel tales, and the occasional weirdly dystopian novel.
But as you can see, I really try to spend time reading books which can teach me something π
What about you β what tickles your fancy when it comes to reading?
Most of my favourite books have come from personal recommendations, so I'd love to add yours to my list.

A couple of weeks ago, Aiden went to Girona in Spain for what was supposed to be a quiet weekend with his girlfriend. Unfortunately, he ended up spending most of his time in and around the hospital, police stations and the courthouse. This is not a pretty travel story, as you can tell, but it is one filled with important lessons we can all learn. Especially around safety abroad and how to navigate foreign systems when times are tough... Click to read Aiden'sAttempted Mugging Story in Girona...
Not all Japanese cities are created equal. Kyoto and Osaka are only about 15 minutes apart by bullet train, but on the ground, they differ vastly. One is all ancient temples, quiet backstreets and what you'd expect from "traditional" Japan. The other is loud, chaotic, food-obsessed and absolutely not interested in going to bed early... I know which one I like the most π but do you? Click to read ourKyoto vs Osaka Comparison Guide > Honestly, there's no universal answer. If you want culture,...
Quick version: we built a free tool called HostelWatch to help you find a place to sleep when your hostel pick is sold out. Tell it which hostel you want and which dates, and it emails you the moment a bed frees up. It only takes about 30 seconds. π Set an alert for free After more than a decade reviewing hostels, we've learned one thing: backpackers are flaky. Theyβll plan, plan, plan, just to change everything last-minute. They change their mind, meet someone, or hear about a new,...
