Thank you for the book recommendations! I wrote down the titles of several of them! Thanks also for the gorgeous photos.

Glad you found a few books to check out! Got one or two that you'd recommend for me?

“What We Can Know” Ian McEwan and “The Music of Time” by Julian Barnes. Both gorgeous literary novels.

I recently became obsessed with van life and nature focused youtube videos and came to Substack in search of a similar sense of calming nature in written form. I can confidently say this account is just that! Stunning photography! And I will be adding The Art of Spending Money and How To Know a Person to my TBR! Thank you for sharing :)

Hey there, Margaux! So glad you're enjoying the combo of photos plus writing. I get the obsession with van life too; I lived that for years when we were traveling in ours a decade ago. When are you buying one?! :)

Enjoy those books. And definitely check out Housel's book The Psychology of Money; it's SO good.

Lots of saving up to do before I can really consider buying one, though I would love to. Ideally when I’m back in the US I would love to work a nature focused job perhaps for the NPS and save save save!

And yes I read The Psychology of Money and I agree it is so good! I’ve read a few personal finance books and that one + The Richest Man in Babylon were definitely the most life-changing for me! I’m curious to see how Housel’s more recent book will compare!
