MY THOUGHTS AND BOOK REVIEW
Wow, A Gelato A Day by Claudia Laroye is a very Insightful book with an attractive book cover and title. This book is a fabulous collection of travel short stories written by various wilderness and adventurous top travel writers having experienced travelling with their children or parents for transformation and recreation purposes. These adventures with children of course enrich a child's education and teach them new skills. Being an avid family traveler myself I found these book very helpful with perspectives and insights into experiences along with different new places of travel.
The author put forward that there are some surprising benefits of travelling as a family. One of them is exposing them to new cultures and people. Allowing them to explore other places other than their hometown will heighten their curiosity and wonder, and foster self esteem and independence. The key to family travel is togetherness and making it memorable, no matter where how families travel. It can be overwhelming at the same time dangerous when traveling with family members. It can be planning for the best, and preparing for the worst.
When I read this book I felt like I was following the writers footsteps, in their journey to places across the world. These tales will take you on an adventure which is thought provoking from Bhutan, to the northern wilds of Canada and Soviet Russia, Hawaii to Costa Rica, Kenya, European adventures and Further beyond.
I really enjoyed reading this travel book with exotic locations serving as backdrops. It can be a beach trip to the sea, driving a hairpin winding track alongside striking ocean cliffs or a bird watching trip along Canada's south coast birding trail in Ontario but when travelling with children and parents it can be reconnecting, joyful, wonderful, stressful and chaotic still worth the effort. This book reminds me how holiday breaks can be an exciting time.
I just reviewed the book, A Gelato A Day, Thanks to the publisher MiroLand, Claudia and Netgalley for an advance copy for my honest review.
Book Description
A Gelato A Day is a collection of travel tales that highlights the good, the bad and the not-really-that-ugly of the family travel experience. These stories go beyond holidays-gone-wrong to dive thoughtfully into the deeper parental and family connections that can occur when we take ourselves (or are taken out of) our daily routines and comfort zones. More often than not, entering unfamiliar places, spaces and situations encourages us to open up to one another or react in ways that may surprise, delight or frustrate those we hold most dear.
