World Borders: New Book on Crossing Borders in South America

Jonny BlairBook Reviews, Books, South America, World Borders4 Comments

You might have followed my World Borders series the last few years. Basically having crossed over 100 land and sea borders down the years, I have managed to type about 40 of these into articles. Then recently I started working with fellow travellers Kali Kucera and Lorraine Caputo to bring together a book including every…

A Cool Guide to Costa Rica’s Capital: The Real San Jose by Michael Miller

Jonny BlairBook Reviews, Books, Costa Rica, North America, San Jose2 Comments

You might have read my post on a walking tour of San Jose, Costa Rica’s capital. I was staying in the quirky and inspiring Hemingway Inn in San Jose. A building with character and history and by chance I got to meet Michael Miller there. Michael has written an awesome book on San Jose which…

Book Review: Mercenary Justice by Deacon Blake

Jonny BlairBook Reviews, Books, Costa Rica, North America, San Jose2 Comments

You might have read some of my book reviews before, it’s something I’m strict about. I only ever read books that I am genuinely interested in, and I never go browsing for books and just nonchalantly pick one up and read it. That will never happen. In the last 5 years or so, I’ve read…

Book Review: Travel Blogging – Build Audience, Improve Rankings and Earn Money

Jonny BlairBook Reviews, Books, Destinations, Products2 Comments

I review quite a lot of books on here, more than time will permit me to read and I’ve had to turn down book reviews recently due to my ongoing travels (currently in Brazil for the World Cup), but sometimes when a new book comes out, I get excited. Especially with this one. If you…

Book Review: The Cargo Ship Diaries by Niall Doherty

Jonny BlairBook Reviews, Books, Destinations2 Comments

Another in my ongoing series of book reviews, but first things first – the author of this one, Niall Doherty is an inspiration. Niall is a hard working, normal Irish lad. But Niall is something more, nothing less. He’s fun to be around, he speaks his mind, he enjoys life and he lives the life…

Book Review: The Red Rucksack by Ben West

Jonny BlairBook Reviews, Books, DestinationsLeave a comment

It’s time for another book review on Don’t Stop Living. As you’ve probably read from my previous book reviews, I love reading REAL LIFE travel books (such as Lisa and George’s “Travelling in Sin”), OK as well as a bit of fiction 😉 – Mike Delwiche’s “The Liar’s Guide to South America“. I recently came…

Monday’s Money Saving Tips: Buy Cheap Travel Books

Jonny BlairBooks, Destinations, Monday's Money Saving Tips, Regular FeaturesLeave a comment

As a constant traveller, everything isn’t in my head, nor do I love looking up the internet for travel information tips. I’m very much an old school type when it comes to research and reading about destinations. I LOVE reading travel guide books. I own an extensive collection of these books (currently I’m storing it…

Top 10 Travel eBooks To Buy

Jonny BlairBook Reviews, Books, DestinationsLeave a comment

A recent conversation with a mate sparked the whole “are physical books dead?” debate and while I disagreed, we did admit that travelling light means bunging e-Books into your hard drive storage and laptop. And a few of my travel blogging buddies have released some awesome e-Books the last few years. I’ve read these all…
