Welcome to my stop on the 100 Drives, 5000 Ideas blog tour sponsored by TLC Book Tours! Thanks to TLC for the invitation!
My Thoughts:
This is another beautiful and inspiring book from National Geographic. I would easily take every trip in this book if I could, and I love that the focus is road trips because I definitely can some day. As ever, the full color photos are stunning. I loved how the book was organized. It made it so easy to find a place of interest and go from there. It’s filled with information on what to see and do along the way. I’m so grateful to own this. Pick this one up if you’d like some practical travel information for your coffee table!
I received a gifted copy. All opinions are my own.

Definitely, Tammy. I am missing a time when this virus was not on my mind, like back when I prepared this review! ♥️

Can’t wait until we are free to travel again. Sounds like such a nice book, maybe good for armchair travel now.

So true, Joyce, about armchair travel. It was definitely good for that for me.

Another great treat from National Geographic! Not sure, if one should stay away from travel literature at the moment though, but of course it is always possible to travel virtually via books 🙂

It’s a beauty, Stargazer! When I was thumbing through this one, it definitely took me right on the journeys because of the pictures. I wish I could rewind to that time because the Coronavirus was not on my radar at all then.

I’m sure it’s a beautiful book. I see this more than a reference than to read every page. Thanks for sharing.
