  Read about spectacular journeys across the world's most breathtaking scenery. In the words of Robert Louis Stevenson, 'To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive', and the authors of this book have all given accounts of the fascinating sights and sounds along the way, whether the journey is from Bangkok to Singapore through tropical Malaysia, or through the awe-inspiring vastness of the Canadian wilderness on the Trans-Canada Highway. 'Road movies' and country songs celebrate the cult of travel; on the road we feel somehow separate from the everyday life around us as we speed by. The landscape is a source of enjoyment but it is static, unlike the traveller who can move on to discover new delights.
