I enjoy reading a lot, specially when I’m traveling. The books I’m going to carry with me have to be carefully selected, the criteria is always the destination, some books though are universal, by that i mean, some books are just brilliant inspiration for any trip, journey or destination, this book is one of them. “Light at the edge of the world” by Wade Davis. He’s a very well known anthropologist, he’s done many documentaries for National Geographic, I must admit I’m his fan. Anthropology books usually are stories of the authors and the style is always a sort of “coffee chat” talk, very easy to read but mostly easy to enjoy.
Wade Davis gave a talk at the famous TED conference in Monterey California in 2003, enjoy this video and read his book!
