What critics, authors and readers are saying about Trials & Tea Ceremonies
A hilarious and heartfelt journey for anyone who has ever wondered, “Is this it?” Here is the praise gathering around the memoir of the year Basho and Cesca quit their jobs, packed two rucksacks, and set off across twelve countries.
“A very likable couple as guides… Cesca’s black-and-white photographs are clear and evocative.”
“Loved it! A reflective travel memoir that looks beyond destinations… The book is very readable and left me with a renewed sense of curiosity and wanderlust.”
“An engaging and compelling travelogue with a vital and strong emphasis on connection and experience over ticking off the bucket list… Overflowing with the author’s curious spirit.”
“This book reminded me why we travel: not for the postcard moments, but for the mishaps, characters, and revelations along the way.”
“A richly written, unexpectedly profound journey. The book highlights how travel can add richly to the meaning of one’s life.”
“For a hearty dose of mind, body, spirit, travel, and Zen in remarkable places — take yourself somewhere magical, wherever you are.”
“A story of perseverance, agility, the happy, the sad, and the tests of faith and belief.”
“A funny, soul-searching adventure that made me laugh, think, and (almost) book a one-way ticket.”
