\"\"<\/a>The book, edited by the famous travel guide brand, is a collection of short stories (comic and tragic) about trips that \u201cwent wrong\u201d. When I read the book, I wondered the difficult moments I had traveling. Yes, I had some very complicated, they would be good stories for the book, especially the ones involving army, airport and border security and being sick alone in a foreign country.<\/p>\n

Unpacked doesn\u2019t talk about disasters as the title suggests. It presents some awkward situations we all pass in a trip or another. The book takes us to a rafting in Alaska, trekking in Madagascar, trains trip in India and New Year\u2019s in Boneo. I believe it is this king of adventures, things we did not plan on a travel, the inconveniences and surprises that test us and identify us as travelers and not only tourists.<\/p>\n
