In my bedroom, two bookshelves hang on the wall, but it's more like an altar. The cozy kind, you know, because it's a collection of souvenirs, stones, shells, and travel guides. I love to keep those dog-eared copies, where I've folded corners to find addresses later. Between the pages are yellowed business cards from places that weren't listed but that I can't forget. The unfortunate thing about travel guides is that they often look like billboards. Yellow, green, a lot of red, sometimes purple too. But suddenly I got a tip: the new guides from Travel Colours. And as colorful as this sounds, the color stays on the inside and the outside is soothingly basic. I myself have a pre-order for a Greek edition with a selection of the best boutique hotels and lovely houses. But you also have: Paris, Stockholm, Cape Town, a Mallorca special, and Into the Wild. A delightful gift for yourself and all your travel-loving friends.
