“Dear Michael,
My name is Nini and I’m from Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
In April of this year I took a year off to go on a worldtrip.
You don’t know me at all, but we have something in common: we read the same book, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly… 🙂
The book was given to me by another traveller in a hostel in Buenos Aires, but because of all the travelling, I couldn’t find the time to sit down and read…
It accompanied me all the way through Argentina, across to Chile, and through the deserts and saltflats up to Sucre, Bolivia, where I finally had some time to read it!
And now, here in La Paz, I came to the end and read your message… 🙂
I’m afraid to say the book was not in very good condition when it got to me. The front cover was almost completely ripped off, and did not survive the trip to Bolivia. However, I still read it with great pleasure and was amazed by the story behind it! I thought about exchanging the book for another one, but I want to make sure that this book will continue it’s travels. I will therefore try to mend the cover with sellotape as best as I can, and give it to someone else who I think will enjoy reading it!
So far my update on the amazing journey of this travelling book! 🙂
I wish you all the best on your travels, and maybe, hopefully, this book will reach you again one day…..
Take care!
x Nini”
That is great! We should all do that when we travel. Keep us updated!
Great story and a good idea. Wish I would have written a message in the many books that I left behind throughout the world.Scott Lauck
Excellent post. I used to be checking continuously this blog and I’m impressed! Very helpful info particularly the last section 🙂 I maintain such information a lot. I used to be looking for this particular info for a very long time. Thank you and best of luck.
Fantastic blog you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any discussion boards that cover the same topics discussed
here? I’d really like to be a part of online community where I can get feedback from other experienced people that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Bless you!
When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each
time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Thank you!
