Great Books About Explorers

It’s been a little while since I’ve been on a big adventure, but we did take a small adventure during the summer when we went camping in Ireland for the first time. Within the next month, new books are coming out by three astronauts, Chris Hadfield, Tim Peake, and Mike Massimino. I have them all on my radar! But you don’t have to leave the comforts of your own planet to go exploring – last week I only had to go as far as Belfast to hear about the adventures of Leon McCarron, who was giving a talk at Queen’s University, Belfast. He spoke about travelling down Iran’s longest river, and oh how I’d love to go on a walk he’s guiding down the West Bank…but alas, perhaps I’ll just hope to read his book, The Road Headed West, instead (his bicycle ride across North America). In case you haven’t guessed it…today’s theme is all about explorers!
