After reading "The Pilgrim" I decided that some time I'll have to walk Camino de Santiago de Compostella. (I'm leaving it for later).
After reading the "Alchemist" I wanted to travel through Sahara. (I'm leaving it for later).

Every time I read one of his books it I want to travel, to get away, to be somehwere else.

I have a few of my favourite travel writers, but, Paulo Coehlo isn't one of them. Still, he makes me want to travel, to discover new places, meet new people.

I know he's very popular. Do you have any other favourite (non-travel) writers who inspire you to travel?
