      I love to travel but do not get the opportunity to travel as much as I would like so I am traveling in my armchair and in my dreams.

      I am definitely a arm chair traveler. I’ve traveled all over the United States but have yet traveled out of the country. Several countries on my bucket list!

      Oh yes! I sure am an “armchair traveler”. With books, you can even travel to worlds out of this world! And to the past, and the future! I wish I could go to half the places I have read about!

      A little bit since we are older now. But when we were younger, my hubby was in the military. We lived in Bangkok, Thailand, Ft. knox, KY, and Colorado Springs, CO. I’d love to share the love of traveling and different places with my grandchildren.

      I definitely consider myself an armchair traveler. Flying and water travel both terrify me even though I long to see beautiful, far away places. Reading has always been my favorite mode of transportation!!

      I am both. When younger I travelled extensively in Europe, but now I’m an armchair traveler who reads and takes virtual trips on the internet.

      I am an armchair traveler due to health problems these past 4 years, but I would enjoy having the opportunity to travel once again since the experience is unforgettable.

      Absolutely not! Our family travels 6 months of the year. We have created a lifestyle for ourselves that supports that. Having said that, we will not go everywhere in the world (for a number of reasons) so books are a useful tool. Would love to read these books to my kids!

      I am an armchair world traveler. I love to read and learn about different parts of the world. We live on a farm, so traveling is not always an option when you have animals and have work to do.

      These books are a great way to create a community of inclusion for arm chair travelers and travelers alike. We all need to open our eyes to enrich ourselves to the beauty of the world around us.

      I think I’m a bit of an armchair traveler. I’ve read some of your books and enjoyed them. I also love the extras you include. I’d love to win these to donate to a favorite 3rd grade teacher. I know she’d love them. She has a small library set up in her classroom and these would be such a gorgeous addition.

      Oh yes I am an “armchair traveler”. When I read books I can travel to worlds out of this world and beyond. And to the past, and the future I wish I could go to half the places I have read about

      I love to read and explore new things. But it is even better reading with my grandchildren and exposing them to different places and things!

      Most definitely. I love to read. When I check out books at my library I have to get at least 10 or more because if the first chapter doesn’t pull me in I go to the next one.

      I love to find out about other lands/cultures! And only wish I could do more actual traveling to see these places in person!

      Absolutely! Great Britain is my favorite place to Armchair Travel 😀 I think this giveaway is one of the best I’ve seen. For my children to learn about other cultures in this way is a dream come true!! Fingers crossed!!!!!!

      I am an armchair world traveler and in addition have gone to Canada twice, Mexico once and England twice along with a 3 week capital hop tour of Europe with 8 countries and the Passion Play in Oberammagau Germany which only happens every 10 years.

      Not particularly. I’m happy to find out about other countries/cultures/etc., but I don’t tend to just sit and research it.

      Yes, I definitely consider myself an armchair traveler. I love reading about new places and browsing through photos of foreign lands. Actually, I’d be a real life would traveler if I could actually afford to do so!

      Yes, I do consider myself an armchair traveler. I have been to the British Isles and France, but there are so many places I read about and study that I’d love to go.

      I’m not a Arm chair Traveler, but I would love to travel someday. I think it’s important to learn about different countries.
