I just started reading "A Long Trek Home" by Erin McKittrick.
Seems really cool, I picked it up off the Alpacka raft site while getting Roman Dial's guide to packrafting.
The author and her husband traveled 4,000 miles by foot, ski and packraft from Seattle to the Aleutian Islands, Alaska.

There's a book I've been wanting to read called "Stranger in the Forest: On Foot Across Borneo" by Eric Hansen (ISBN: 9780375724954).
I haven't read it yet but it sounds amazing.

"For every traveler who has any taste of his own, the only useful guide-book will be the one which he himself has written."
-Aldous Huxley
I know it's not a book on travel but I saw this in an airport book shop and it really resonated with me.

you'd probably enjoy keroauc's dharma bums as well
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.
