On occasion we come across a book that is very much in line with the message we hope to impart with Travels with Gannon & Wyatt and the Youth Exploration Society. How To Be An Explorer Of The World by Keri Smith is one of those books. Part “how to” book, part book of inspiration, How To Be An Explorer Of The World will help young readers to see the world around them through a different lens.
This has been a big and fun filled summer for Travels with Gannon & Wyatt and the Youth Exploration Society. The Adventure Bus set off from Florida in June, logging thousands of miles as it combed the country from Key West, back up through the eastern part of the U.S., across the midwest and over to the Rocky Mountain region, promoting the series and donating books to libraries along the way.
Travel can do many things. It can excite, or it can frighten. Travel can relax and it can also be trying. The beauty or chaos of a new place can awaken senses that lie dormant when we are at home. Travel can introduce us to new people, cultures and environments. It can teach and it can inspire. Travel can even change our perspective on life. The best travel, I believe, does all of these things.
