1 Year. 100 Bookshops.

On a mission to visit every quirky bookshop & library on my literary bucket list. My goal is to explore 100+ bookshops around the world over the next 365 days before my 35th birthday.

As a lifelong reader turned full-time writer, books have always been my favourite form of escapism. Similar to the Japanese art of forest bathing (a self-care ritual proven to reduce stress, improve immunity, and enhance mood), I’ve coined the term “book bathing” to describe the calming, almost therapeutic feeling of walking into a bookshop (or library) and getting lost amongst the stacks. I’d love for you to join me on this bookish adventure over the next year!
