Klappentext

The final volume in the Kinfolk travel trilogy (following Kinfolk Islands and Kinfolk Wilderness) invites readers along on eighteen of the most unforgettable trips around the world, full of sustainable and sustaining ways to slow down and see the world anew.

Celebrate off-the-beaten path travel with Kinfolk Journeys. Whether via road, rail, sea, or trail, each trip will take you on an adventure where the point is not to get somewhere fast and check a lot of boxes but to take it all in—absorbing history, exploring unusual detours, and surrendering to stunning scenery along the way. The book features eighteen one-of-a-kind travel stories from six continents, including a sailing voyage through the turbulent waters of Antarctica, a horseback trek through the deep, desolate ravines of Nepal's Upper Mustang, a bicycle tour through Norway's wild western islands, a scenic double-decker bus route through England's Lake District, an all-day train to a kooky end-of the-line town in the Australian outback, a goat-herding adventure in rural Spain, and much more. Featuring vibrant photography, practical guidance, and thoughtful reflections on sustainable transportation, Kinfolk Journeys will inspire your next adventure with conscious, conscientious routes through some of the world's most extraordinary landscapes.
