Over the past year I have researched and found some great travel books to keep my hopes up for the future and I've discovered LEVISON WOOD. He was British Special Forces (British do you know him?) and basically WALKS everywhere. The first two books I read were "An Arabian Journey" and "Walking the Nile". He actually walked around almost the entire Arabian peninsula thru Syria, Iraq, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Jordan and also the entire Nile River starting in Rwanda except for a few miles in Southern Sudan to Egypt and the Sea. The next book up is "Walking the Americas" (1,800 miles, 8 countries from Mexico to Columbia). We find his writing very fascinating. Greatly recommend his books !
