love travel guides





Calling all Luxury Vagabonds: if you want to discover India with the insider's knowledge of the ambassador's wife, with tips on where to eat and where to shop and where to buy antique saris, these are the travel books for you. I wish I had known about these on my last trip!


Fiona Caulfield is a travel writer originally from Australia who now calls India home. I think she's brilliant to write these books because most people I know aren't grouped easily by budget, and yet that's how most travel guides are written. They might splurge on hand-made textiles or a really good massage but would eat dinner from a street vendor or stay in a no-frills guest house. These books are available in our Toronto shop and will be online soon.
