Wander Love by Aubrey Daquinag, published by Hardie Grant, $40.

She’s based in Sydney, but Aubrey’s done what many dream of and turned the world into her office, travelling solo and blogging about it at theloveassembly. com. Her debut book suggests how you can do it too, with life-is-what-youmake-it lessons on how to get away and how to play it when you’re there.
