The Guardian is inviting readers to share a book that inspired them to travel. A great novel can transport you to places you’ve never been, take you on imaginary adventures across the globe and, just occasionally, inspire you to visit a literary location in real life. We’d love to hear about a book you’ve read that led to one of your favourite trips, whether it was somewhere far-flung or close to home.
Competition Details
The best tip of the week, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, wins a £200 voucher to stay at a Coolstays property – the company has more than 3,000 worldwide. The best tips will appear in the Guardian Travel section and website.
Keep your tip to about 100 words. If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words we will be judging for the competition. For legal reasons, you must be a UK resident to enter. The competition closes on Monday 20 July at 10am BST.
