Four books that changed Clara Bensen

Clara Bensen is the author of No Baggage: A Tale of Love and Wandering.

One of four books that changed her, as shared at the Sydney Morning Herald:
The Art of Travel
Alain de Botton​

Witty and surprising, Alain de Botton's The Art of Travel investigates why it is we are attracted to faraway locales. What's the appeal and how often does the foreign mystique live up to our expectations? In addition to his own travels, de Botton weaves in (often hilarious) observations from the journeys of other artists and writers. As an avid traveller, I enjoyed the reminder that no matter where you go, you can't escape yourself.
Read about another book on the list.
