About Our World Travel Books

Here you will find a collection of travel guides and stories specially curated for you by Our World Travel Logs. We've drawn on recommendations from friends and family, it encompasses books that have been invaluable partners and guides on all our travels.

The books have been chosen to inspire travel in more sustainable, responsible, and regenerative ways. I am working on a blog explaining these terms in relation to travel!

As we emerge in 2021 from this dreadful pandemic, many of us will be desperately looking forward to traveling again, but the climate emergency and Coronavirus should make us think even harder about how we go about this. We hope that these books will help us value, and respect every aspect of what travel entails.

Our World Travel Logs is an independent small business where you can find blogs (about travel and sustainability) and our own designed travelog booklet to record your adventures using FSC paper (paper from sustainable sources).

We hope, whoever you are, you will enjoy our selection and enjoy knowing that you are aiding in the survival of local bookshops.

That's us, who are you....

About Bookshop . Org

The organization that makes this possible is called bookshop.org. And to find us you have to use this link - Our World Travel Books. A friend of mine uses it for her business (Booktalk - curated list of children's books) and told me about it when it opened it's "doors" here in the UK about a month ago. It all started in the US. If you are interested in knowing more there is an article in the Guardian.

How it works is simple - purchase a book through the site and money goes to independent bookshops. Bookshop . org raised about £12,000 on day one for UK bookshops and currently the amount now raised stands at over £500,000.

Here is a quote from the Guardian article:

"Bookshop is a benefit corporation in the process of applying for B Corporation certification in the UK, created with the mission “to benefit the public good by contributing to the welfare of the independent literary community”. Rules state that it can never be sold to a major US retailer, including Amazon."

About Greece, where my parents met and written by my father-in-law, another favorite of mine! Definitely a much loved country among my family.

Enjoy traveling even if it is from your armchair at the moment....
