Summary Best Audiobooks Women Staunch by Eleanor Wood Audiobook Free Mp3 Download Women:
‘A fun and uplifting memoir’ Cosmopolitan Eleanor finds herself in her late 30s on a beach in India with three old ladies, trying to ‘find herself’ and ‘discover her family history’ like some sad middle-class crisis cliché. How did she get here?
Truthfully, it could be for any one of the below reasons, if not all combined:
– Stepmum dying/Stepdad leaving – family falling apart, subsequent psychotic break; both parents now on third marriage
– Breaking up with K after 12 years – breaking up a whole life, a whole fucking universe – for reasons that may have been… misguided?
– New boyfriend moving in immediately, me insisting ‘it’s not a rebound!’ even after everyone has stopped listening, then breaking up with me
– Going into therapy after dating a threatening narcissist (the most pertinent point of which should be noted: I did not break up with him – he ghosted me)
How to address this situation? Take a trip to India with your octogenarian nan and two great aunts of course. The perfect, if somewhat unusual, distraction from Eleanor’s ongoing crisis.
But the trip offers so much more than Eleanor could ever have hoped for.
Through the vivid and worldly older women in her life, she learns what it means to be staunch in the face of true adversity.

Summary Best Audiobooks Travel Friends Like These by Danny Wallace Audiobook Free Trial Travel:
Danny Wallace is about to turn thirty and his life has become a cliché. Recently married and living in a smart new area of town, he’s swapped pints down the pub for lattes and brunch. For the first time in his life, he’s feeling, well … grown-up.
But something’s not right. Something’s missing. Until he finds an old address book containing just twelve names. His best mates as a kid. Where are they now? Who are they now? And how are they coping with being grown-up too?
And so begins a journey from A-Z, tracking down and meeting his old gang. He travels from Berlin to Tokyo, from Sydney to LA. He even goes to Loughborough. He meets Fijian chiefs. German rappers. Some ninjas. And a carvery manager who’s managed to solve time travel. But how will they respond to a man they haven’t seen in twenty years, turning up and asking if they’re coming out to play?
Part-comedy, part-travelogue, part-memoir, Friends Like These is the story of what can happen when you track down your past, and of where the friendships you thought you’d outgrown can take you today…

Summary Best Audiobooks Travel Tips Himalayan Adventures: True stories of exploration from the diaries of some of the greatest explorers of the 19th and 20th centuries by Various Free Audiobooks App Travel Tips:
Real-life memoirs taken from the diaries of seven great explorers – dating from 60 to 180 years ago.
Of these seven adventure stories, five take place in the 1800’s and two take place in 1953. 215 minutes of listening pleasure. These stories are narrated directly from the respective explorers’ diaries, with no editing. The language used is the English usage of that decades-ago time period, with no substitution of modern words or phrases. The seven true tales are particularly good for youngsters who could benefit from hearing such stories read to them – but any age will appreciate them, particularly when traveling and/or stuck in commuting traffic. Includes Sir Edmund Hillory’s diary entry which articulates the historic first ascent, in 1953, of Mt. Everest, with Tenzing Norgay.
There is the story of the Japanese explorer with no funds, who finds himself solo, on a steep snowy mountainside at night, with his only companions being two sheep he commandeered to carry his gear. Another story tells of the Austrian who set out alone to be the first to summit a towering Himalayan peak, and winds up spending an entire night standing upright on a near-verticle ice cliff – with only an ice-screw keeping him from falling thousands of meters.
Narrated by Ken Albertsen in a non-rushed comfortable manner. Most narrators think they have to sound excited every moment, in order to keep the listener interested. Many audio books edit-out spaces between words and sentences – which give the narration a rushed/clipped unnatural sound. In this Himalayan series, the true stories speak for themselves, with no need for theatrical or clipped voices.

Summary Best Audiobooks Travel Short Life in a Strange World: Birth to Death in 42 Panels by Toby Ferris Free Audiobooks Online Travel:
Sure to be hailed alongside H is for Hawk and The Hare with Amber Eyes, an exceptional work that is at once an astonishing journey across countries and continents, an immersive examination of a great artist’s work, and a moving and intimate memoir.
In 2012, facing the death of his father and impending fatherhood, Toby Ferris set off on a seemingly quixotic mission to track down and look at—in situ—every painting still in existence by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, the most influential and important artist of Northern Renaissance painting.
The result of that pursuit is a remarkable journey through major European cities and across continents. As Ferris takes a keen analytical eye to the paintings, each piece brings new revelations about Bruegel’s art, and gives way to meditations on mortality, fatherhood, and life. Ferris conjures a whole world to which most of us have probably lost the key, and in the process teaches us how to look, patiently and curiously, at the world.
Short Life in a Strange World is a dazzlingly original and assured debut—a strange and bewitching hybrid of art criticism, philosophical reflection, and poignant memoir that subtly alters the way we see the world and ourselves.

Summary Best Audiobooks Travel Tips Alastair Humphreys: Around the World by Bike by Alastair Humphreys Free Audiobooks Travel Tips:
At the age of 24, Alastair Humphreys set off to try to cycle round the world. By the time he arrived back home, four years later, he had ridden 46,000 miles across five continents on a budget of just £7,000.
From frozen Siberia tundra to the jungles of central Africa, Alastair recounts his extraordinary adventures in two parts – Moods of Future Joys and Thunder & Sunshine – brought together in audiobook for the first time.
Moods of Future Joys is the story of the first stage of this epic journey. Struggling with the enormity of the challenge he had set himself, Alastair recounts the hardships of the expedition with great honesty. His ride through Europe, a turbulent Middle East and down Africa is buoyed by the kindness of strangers and the thrill of the freedom of the open road.
In Thunder & Sunshine, Alastair continues his journey from South Africa back to Yorkshire, via the whole of the Americas, South to North, Siberia, Japan, and back through China, Central Asia and Europe.
A tale of physical and mental endurance, of taking on wilderness, loneliness and danger in a time before mobile phones and GPS – this is a refreshingly original account from one of today’s great adventurers.

The Appalachian Trail trail stretches from Georgia to Maine and covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in America–majestic mountains, silent forests, sparking lakes. If you’re going to take a hike, it’s probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely the most entertaining guide you’ll find. He introduces us to the history and ecology of the trail and to some of the other hardy (or just foolhardy) folks he meets along the way–and a couple of bears. Already a classic, A Walk in the Woods will make you long for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and read in).
Walk in the Woods Audiobook Reviews
I am an avid reader. Yes, folks, I’m that annoying person who reads while standing in line, and even at red lights. I once finished an entire novel sitting in a doctor’s waiting room– but perhaps that says more about the doctor than it does about my reading abilities. haha. I also hold advanced degrees in both English and writing. I know good writing when I read it, and I have also stumbled wearily through books shoved at me from the hands of well meaning friends: “we know you love to read. Read this one and let me know what you think of it.” Gah. Please don’t be that person to your friends– the frightful book foister. Please, I beg of you. Don’t be that person. Don’t make me flee from your presence like unfiled taxes fleeing from the IRS, to avoid said horrible book dumping.
Tiresome celebrity biographies, reminiscent of a painful 9th grade essay, sold merely because a famous name is on it . . . let’s admit it– what can they really “tell all” about, when their lives are already a literal (equally wearying) open book? Romance novels, with a close up of a muscular hand clutching a lacy red bustier on the front, which after several dreary pages makes me feel like ripping it, literally, in half, and throwing the book away. Cookbooks– there are a few decent ones in this “here read this!” genre, but many of them are thrown together to make a sale, and let’s face it– when is the last time you actually made a recipe from an actual cookbook? Exactly. You throw it in the bag for the beach, thumb through a few pages while smearing on sunscreen, and then toss it in the ‘ole bookshelf when you get home, where it is destined to live for the rest of readless, purgatorial eternity.
A friend recommended “A Walk in the Woods.” Sigh, I thought. Another recommendation. I admire the “woods” from a distance, but I fear insects, snakes, vermin, rodents, and even the casual snap of a twig within their clutches. I do not camp. I do not eat camp food. I prefer to have my meals without a side of food poisoning. So you’d be right in thinking that my reaction was something like, “Ugh another referral. I will have less in common with this book than a Protestant would have with the Pope.” I started it grudgingly, expecting to do the obligatory dragging of my eyes across the page until it was finally, relievingly, replete.
Boy was I in for a surprise.
Within the first few pages I surprised myself by chuckling. Then laughing. Then outright, from the gut, throwing back my head and howling. I stayed up until almost 1 AM that first night, devouring chapter after chapter, even though I had to be up early for work the next day. I just couldn’t put it down. The writing is refreshingly honest– at once thoughtful, hilarious, sarcastic, and downright well done. This is not the scribbling of a celebrity trying to sell books. This is the tale of someone who has truly lived a once in a lifetime kind of all-American experience. His observations about the conditions of the trails, the miraculous preservation efforts made by volunteers on the trail for decades, and even his views on life, are inspirational. His descriptions of the kooky characters, the beautiful, sweeping vistas of untouched wilderness that he discovered as he rounded thousands of wearying bends in the never-ending trails . . . it’s magic. Pure magic. I can almost close my eyes and see it, so vivid are his descriptions of the meadows, the wildflowers, the soft sighing of the trees in the quiet breeze.
I’ve always said that the best kind of writing contains three elements. First, it is relevant/relate-able to all. It takes an incredible author to take a subject about which I have little interest (camping), and make it relevant and interesting to me, yet he does. Second, it should have humor– not the “polite chuckle” kind of humor, but a real, genuine, gut laughing kind of humor, hidden delightfully throughout the text, waiting to surprise you like golden treasure where you would least think to look. Third, it should have moments of piercing, beautiful clarity– moments when you find yourself, for reasons you almost can’t explain, blinking back the tears as some particularly poignant thought resonates through your very being.
Bill Bryson delivers richly on all three counts. This book ended with my feeling deliciously and completely satiated, in every way. I laughed until my sides were sore, I cried at the honest, beautiful tendrils of his story as it wrapped its beautifully written arms around my heart. I shook my head solemnly with a deep, “Mmmm, yes” at the inspirations recorded within the story as he discovered, not just the beauty of the Appalachian Trail, but the beauty of life, warmth, family, and companionship. Perhaps the beauty of America is that a little bit of the magic resides in the heart of all of us. That’s the message here. And it’s a darned inspirational one.
I haven’t done this often, but a few times in my life a book is so wonderful– so stupendous– that I just can’t bear to end it. So the moment I finish, I move my bookmark back to chapter 1. Not ending– just starting again.

In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. His name was Christopher Johnson McCandless. He had given $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possessions, burned all the cash in his wallet, and invented a new life for himself…
“Terrifying…Eloquent…A heart-rending drama wandering of human yearning.”–The New York Times
“A narrative of arresting force. Anyone who ever fancied wandering off to face nature on its own harsh terms should give a look. It’s gripping stuff.”–The Washington Post.
