    You can either travel or read, but either your body or soul must be on the way. The popular saying has inspired many people to read or go sightseeing. Here are four books we recommend that you take on your trip.

1. On the Road, 1957, by Jack Kerouac

    The book is a popular spiritual guide book about youth. The character in the book drives across the US continent with several young people and finally reaches Mexico. After the exhausting and exciting trip, the characters in the book begin to realize the meaning of  life.

2. Life is Elsewhere, 1975, by Milan Kundera

    Jean-Jacques Rousseau once said, “Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains”. The book describes a young artist’s romantic but miserable life, about how he reads, dreams and has a relationship during his trip to Central Europe. The hook invites you to deeply reflect on your current life and to honor Kundera, a Czech-born writer and who went into exile in France in 1975.
