Featured Travel Site

If you have been to Paris in the last few years you may have bumped into someone with a copy of The Da Vinci Code in their hands as they retrace the key scenes in the book through the city.

This type of travel activity is not new though. People have long been visiting destinations from books or visited places that gave their favourite writers inspiration.

Literary Traveler provides travel writing featuring writers and the places that they have travelled. The site also includes a wide variety of literary tours.

Book swapping with a twist. The general idea is that you register (free) and then once you are done reading a book register them at the website, write down the URL and the allocated ID number inside the cover, and then give them away or leave them where someone will find them.

This is a great outlet to share with the world your favourite books and you get to track where they go, for the life of the book. Hopefully you will end up with a collection of well travelled books.
