Travelogues You Shouldn’t Miss
I can’t deny that I love reading, especially travelogues. A Fortune-teller Told Me by Tiziano Terzani – Warned by a Hong Kong fortune-teller, the Asian correspondent Tiziano Terzani decides not to fly for a whole year. Traveling by foot, boat, car, bus and train, he consults shamans and fortune-tellers wherever the roads take him. A [...]
