Bookreview: The Travel Stories Collection

These series really are fantastic!  


A must read for avid travelers and adventurers. 







Book 1: Chasing the Dream – A new life abroad

20 different stories. One shared dream – the chance to start a new life overseas.

Young lives, families, midlife movers, rash spur-of-the-moment property purchasers,
and retirement dreamers are all featured in this book. Read about their adventures
and find out what it is really like to move abroad.


Book 2: Itchy Feet – Tales of travel and adventure

From the Indonesian jungle, to an epic journey out of Africa, and rafting the
Zambezi. Find out what Egypt is like in a heatwave, and hunt down Dracula
in Transylvania. Catch a rare glimpse into the lives of the last Pech Indigenous
people of La Moskitia, Honduras. Be entertained by a teenager’s first glance of
foreign soil, and an Australian view of England. Ride a Harley through France
and Spain and find out what makes someone a perpetual nomad.


Book 3: Wish You Were Here – Holiday Memories

We all have that one holiday that stands out in our minds, that one break or
vacation we will never forget. Whether it is a childhood ‘bucket and spade’
family holiday, the ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ dream destination, your first trip abroad
or the city where you first fell in love, the memories are still there today.

Also includes 17 Bonus Chapters - Exclusive to this box set collection.

A wonderful collection of short travel stories from all over the world.



My Review

Each of the books contains lovely stories, which I read with a laugh and a 
tear. I really enjoyed all of them. 

Alyson Sheldrake has collected a number of very interesting and fantastic
travel writers. It takes the reader over the whole world. I liked that armchair
traveling a lot.

These series are a must read for travelers, adventures and people who love
reading memoirs. 

I give with lots of pleasure a 5 star rating to the complete series.


The author





Alyson Sheldrake is a fantastic professional artist and author living
and working in the beautiful Algarve in Portugal. 

Of course I'm a bit prejudiced because she had an author in the picture
blog post on this blog. See this link. I also was a beta reader for these 
"The Travel Storries Collection" books.

We Love Memoirs


I 'met' Alyson Sheldrake via the We Love Memoirs group on Facebook.
This is a very interesting and friendly place for authors, bloggers and 
avid travel readers.

  1. What a lovely review, Kathleen. I too am biased about these books, but I genuinely think they are outstanding anthologies and the care with which Alyson has put them together is quite amazing. Thank you!
