Road Trip Wenesday-Globetrotting Dreams




This Week's YA Highway Road Trip Topic:
In honor of the release of Kirsten's WANDERLOVE yesterday--which is amazing, by the way; get yourselves to a bookstore if you haven't!--we bring you a travel-themed RTW prompt today! If you could wander anywhere in the world, where would it be, and why?


I would love to wander the whole world, but my only trips outside the U.S. have been short ones to Mexico and Canada.

Given that, I'd wish to start my wanderings in Great Britain.

Sure, it's beautiful. There's the Tower of London, Stonehenge




And the Scottish Moors to see.







But the thing that draws me there most is my first love...the books I tore through as a dreamy teenager...Historical Romances. I tried reading the ones set in Historical U.S., but only the ones set in Great Britain would do.

AND, my more recent book love, Jane Austen. I'd want to pay homage to her too.

What about you? Where would you wander?

  2. Great Britain is one of the best places to go for lovers of literature. Bath, where Jane Austen lived and wrote for a while, is one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen.

  4. I lived in the UK for over half my life, and there are still many places I've never visited. I've not had the opportunity to go back and just travel around, but would relish that chance.

  5. Samesies :) This was my choice, too! I've been there, I'm going again in May, and I'd still want to see it over and over and over. It's such a gorgeous country! So much to explore. And I, too, have a love for Austen that won't quit, so that's pretty fun as well.

  6. Britain is TOP of my list. So green, so charming, so lush, so historical. *sigh*

  7. I'm a big Jane Austen fan too, and visiting Bath is on my bucket list for sure. We have friends in the UK that could show us around, so I really want to make the time when our kids are a little older.

  10. I'd have to say, I'd like to wander to the places I've written about. The Mayan temples and cities and then Paris, France. But almost anywhere would do.
