The concept

Journey to the heart of novels

Our literary journeys transform the pages of your favorite books into living. By visiting the actual locations described in the novels, you step directly into the story’s world – walking the same streets as beloved characters, breathing the same air, and seeing through their own eyes.

Whether you’re a passionate reader or just beginning your literary journey, our meticulously crafted routes deepen your connection with both the setting and narrative. Standing in the exact locations where pivotal scenes unfold, you’ll discover layers of meaning that might otherwise remain hidden. Every street corner, every building, every vista adds new dimensions to your understanding of the characters’ choices and the author’s vision.

This immersive experience transforms both how you connect with literature and how you experience culture. Through the lens of our chosen books, you’ll discover each location’s soul – understanding how culture shapes daily life, influences local perspectives, and weaves through the community’s shared experiences. You’ll gain unique insights into how traditions, values, and social dynamics impact the lives of local inhabitants, just as they influenced the characters in our stories.

To complete your immersion, you’ll receive a carefully curated collection of music playlists, films, podcasts, and supplementary readings that enhance your connection to both the literary and cultural landscape you’re about to explore.

Travelling book club

Each journey features thoughtfully structured book club discussions that delve deep into the heart of our chosen novels. These aren’t casual book sessions- they’re explorations of the text’s most profound themes and their connection to our lives.

Our literary experts thoughtfully analyze each book to reveal its most powerful and thought-provoking themes. We craft discussions that move beyond plot summary to examine how narratives challenge our perceptions and beliefs. By exploring subjects like the complexity of human relationships within the book or how people’s beliefs and society shape stories across different eras, we illuminate seemingly minor moments that might otherwise be overlooked.

In our sessions, we reveal how these moments connect to form a subtle yet powerful narrative. Through carefully crafted questions, we challenge the meaning of these moments, opening new ways to observe life through literature and discuss how these moments manifest in our daily lives, our day-to-day connections, society, and beyond.

Each discussion equips you with practical tools for analysis and self-reflection – frameworks that extend beyond literature into your daily life, using literature as a lens for understanding our own experiences.

Our meeting places : cozy local café, a peaceful garden, or locations crucial to the story.

Deeper connections

Our gatherings create a unique space where stories become bridges between people, fostering connections that often last well beyond the journey itself. Here, meaningful discussions lead naturally to shared perspectives and deeper understandings of both literature and life.

We bring together individuals who share not just a love of reading, but a desire to see the world – and themselves – through new eyes. Our community is built on genuine engagement, mutual curiosity, and the joy of discovering how different perspectives can enrich our understanding of both stories and life.

Solo travelers find a particularly welcoming home in our groups. We understand the unique mix of excitement and uncertainty that comes with traveling alone, which is why we create an environment where meaningful connections happen naturally. Through our shared discussions and experiences, solo travelers quickly become integral parts of our literary community.

Each conversation opens new paths for connection – whether we’re debating a character’s choice, sharing personal insights, or discovering shared values through our discussion of the text. We encourage authentic dialogue, creating a space where every voice adds to our collective understanding.

Your journey begins even before we meet – you’ll be invited to join our WhatsApp group where you can start connecting with fellow literary travelers, sharing your excitement, and perhaps even extending your adventure with new friends.

Join our reading community

Begin your journey of connections by joining two special WhatsApp groups: one dedicated to your specific trip for coordinating and sharing expectations, and another for our wider book club community where past and future travelers share their love for literature.

Start connecting through travel

While flights and airport transfers are not included in our packages, we see this as an opportunity for early connections. As you plan your journey to our meeting point, you'll have the chance to coordinate with fellow travelers - perhaps sharing a taxi from the airport or meeting for coffee before our official start. These early moments often spark meaningful friendships. We'll all meet as a group at the hotel or a chosen location in the city.

Share your story

Upon returning from your literary journey with The Travelling Book Club, your story becomes part of our collective narrative. Your advisor will reach out to hear about your experience, gathering insights that help us create even more meaningful connections through literature and travel.

Return enriched

As you return to your daily life, you'll find yourself transformed by the connections you've made - both with fellow readers and with literature itself. The friendships formed during your journey continue to flourish through our community, while your relationship with books takes on new depth.
