What other people are saying about Two Laps Around the World ...
Here is a sample of reviews from the book's Amazon.com page:
“Fascinating cross-cultural insights”
"I found this book filled with fascinating cross-cultural insights...Two Laps Around the World is an entertaining read. I recommend it for any actual or armchair traveler interested in how we fit in the broader world."
“A book to revisit often”
"Bob and Lisa lead us to a deeper level in their global journeys. They seek to meet and talk to the people, to understand the culture, religions, and then reflect so beautifully on the differences--and sameness. They indeed challenge us to break out of the safe "tourist bubble." I enjoyed the Life Lessons and Global Rules noted throughout the book. This would be a great gift for any traveler… and a book to revisit often."
“More than a travelogue”
"It's a fun and easy read - but this book is radical and I hope high schoolers, college students, blue collar workers, and white collar workers read it...Because it's more than an interesting and accessible travelogue of a young couple's adventures traveling around the world twice. It shows that world travel is not just for the rich and super rich. It brings forward the radical concept that regular people need to spend time away from life in these United States and experience people and places in other parts of the world. Take a break from the forward march of school and job? Yes! Read this book and see if that idea makes sense to you."
“Refreshing and informative”
“Bob and Lisa always seem to hit the highlights as well as some interesting off the beaten path destinations. The insight they provide into the customs and cultures they visit is refreshing and informative.”
