I am very pleased to present one of my very favorite books I've read this year, written by our very own Literary Travel Editor, Robert Todd Felton. His book, A Journey into Ireland's Literary Revival, published by Roaring Forties Press, is an intriguing read.

The Wild Atlantic Way: it’s a connection of roads which invites travel along the west of Ireland, from the western part of County Cork far in the south to Ireland’s far northwest in Donegal and Derry.
Donegal and Derry: two counties, two countries. Donegal lies in the Republic of Ireland: Derry lies in Northern Ireland.
Like other travelers, I selected Tucson for its geographical location. I wanted to embrace a dude ranch experience, and also sip margaritas while munching on southwestern guacamole as the sky became a canvas at sunset. I was looking for a laid back vacation that weaved together the accoutrements of a desert environment while simultaneously enjoying Mother Nature’s handiwork. If you don’t enjoy riding horseback through the arid desert, then skip the dude ranch and settle instead for one of Tucson’s full service resorts or city hotels.

Nepal is a multiethnic, multilingual, multi-religious landlocked country situated between India and China. It is a country rich in mystic mountains, holy temples, scenic mountains, glaciers, majestic monasteries, mouthwatering cuisines, diverse cultures, traditions, and festivals. Travelers are mostly lured by the call of the mountains to trek or opt for mountain climbing, and some are intrigued by cultural and historic images of the nation. Mostly, Nepal is famous for adrenaline adventure.

Here is a scenario for you:
You do not travel as much as you deserve to. You want to, but feel you cannot—especially when you have other pressing financial obligations to take care of.
