Flash Voyager Attitude

Travel is often a good opportunity to read. Personally, my favorite books are biographies of travel, personal experiences of the road written down, short, road-trips! And there are so many exciting and fascinating in that I wanted to advise you on your reading for your next vacation or get away ... every day after work.

The authors, from real travelers, we tell funny situations, unexpected encounters and so amazing that only the extreme taste of adventure experiences (and crazy!) Can bring to life. Here are travel books that marked me most:



1 / FLASH or the big trip

Charles Duchaussois (1974)


This autobiographical narrative has absolutely fascinated me from beginning to end. A French recounts his experiences traveling around the Middle East and Asia, even his few months in Kathmandu in 1969, Michel was not Duchaussois hippie (big-eyed, beefy, always dressed in black), but he wandered among the community. He recounts the discovery of the drugs, all drugs, and still retains the hippie vibe of the late 60's and offers an objective look at the drug addiction on his adventures do exploits but also bitter failures.

Of all the stories he tells in a simple and direct style, the scene where the dead bodies are devoured by vultures, according to the rites of a minority religion in India, and marked me really impressed. Among other ...

I regret that no film adaptation has been performed, because these stories have everything to be successful. I'd love to see Benicio del Toro, or Romain Duris, in the role of Michael Duchaussois.



2 / THE WORLD STOP

World traveler Attitude stop

Ludovic Hubler (2010)

After studying commerce, Ludovic Hubler share a ride to go see the world, before discovering the world of work. His adventure will last five years, during which he will only use the stop all forms to move.

4 / JOURNEY TO THE END OF THE SOLITUDEVoyageur Attitude Into the wild

Jon Krakauer (1996)

This book tells the story of Christopher McCandless, a young American who just graduated and a bright future, decided to leave his comfortable life and go like a vagrant to Alaska. Guided by reading Tolstoy and Jack London, he trades civilization for a return to the wild. Based on a true story, this book is a call to freedom and makes you think about the modern society loneliness and happiness. In 2007, Sean Penn adapts successfully cinema under the title "Into the Wild" with Emile Hirsh.
