Five authors to inspire your future adventures.
John Muir
John Muir was a naturalist, explorer, farmer, early pioneer of wildlife preservation and contributor to the rugged, written word. His famous quote, “I would rather be in the mountains thinking of God, than in church thinking about the mountains,” will inspire your next camping trip or hiking exploration.
Robert Frost
Robert Frost is a great go-to author for meaningful, nature-centric poetry. “The Road Not Taken,” “Fire and Ice,” “Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening,” “Acquainted with the Night,” “Nothing Gold Can Stay” and “A Late Walk” are all wanderlust-inspiring poetry to read outdoors.
Henry David Thoreau
Henry David Thoreau was a noted Transcendentalist, protégé of Ralph Waldo Emerson, teacher and prolific naturalist writer. Thoreau’s novel Walden is a testament to simple living while immersed in nature. Walden is an inspiring read for all young travelers with a desire to shake off material devices.
Freya Stark
Freya Stark was a travel writer and explorer. She wrote dozens of books detailing her adventures through India and the Middle East. Stark’s famous quote, “To awaken alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world,” is an inspiring way to take on solo travel.
Ray Bradbury
Ray Bradbury was a famous American author known for Fahrenheit 451 and Something Wicked This Way Comes. His fantasy fiction novels offer a unique point of view on naturalistic ideas, making nature the protagonist and government control the antagonist. As Bradbury said, “Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.”
