The Way of Wanderlust: The Best Travel Writing of Don George 2025

His stories are full of positivity, enthusiasm, and spirituality. George believes travel teaches us about love. He believes the best we can do with our lives is to embrace people, places, cultures, and vulnerability. He says, “to have faith that whatever energy we put into the world will come back to us a hundredfold.” 

This travel writing is inspirational. You won’t see the gritty side of his destinations or encounter unpleasant people in his wanderings. Nor will you find him hacking his way through jungles or kayaking in the Arctic like an adventure travel writer. He often explores with tour guides, wanders alone through museums, cathedrals, and quiet streets, or writes about trips with his family or friends. He wants us to “approach unfamiliar cultures and peoples with curiosity and respect.” In so doing, he teaches us to see the magic and open ourselves up to new experiences.
