The Soul of a Great Traveler: 10 Years of Solas Award-Winning Travel Stories

Ten years of the best travel stories of the year from the Solas Awards bring readers along for journeys that are moving testaments to the richness of our world, its cultures, people, and places.

For ten years the editors of Travelers’ Tales have run a writing competition to find the best travel story of the year: The Solas Awards. Over those years, thousands of stories have come across their desks, from writers famous and unknown, covering all corners of the globe with stories of adventure and discovery, love and loss, humour and absurdity, grief and joy. In this collection appear all of the top prize winners of the last ten years, stories that bring readers along for journeys that are inspiring, uplifting, and, very often, transformative.
