If Brazil is on your Bucket List, but you aren’t able to get there anytime soon, why not read some books set in Brazil. While traveling through the pages is certainly not the same as actual travel, it is a wonderful way to experience different places and cultures when you aren’t able to go. Books…
I don’t know about you, but I love reading books set in another country and books about different cultures. I typically read books set in a destination before I travel there. It always gives me a sense of knowing before I go when I do that. I feel like I’ve walked the streets already and…
