Summary

Yvonne Corpuz was a global leader with a renowned firm headquartered in Japan when an unexpected turn in her career left her aspirations in disarray. Seeking respite, she embarked on the historic Shikoku pilgrimage, a 1,400-kilometre journey,with cherished companions Mayumi and Katsuji. Navigating the ancient route around the perimeter of Shikoku, Japan's most mysterious island, they visited its eighty-eight temples on a rigorous eight-day drive. As Yvonne immersed herself in exploring breathtaking landscapes, revered traditions and age-old customs, what commenced as a sojourn to escape life's disappointments blossomed into a profound journey of the heart, guiding her on the transformative path towards inner serenity and renewal.
Shikoku is a compelling account that blends the essence of pilgrimage, the beauty of self-discovery and the enduring allure of Japan's people, culture and heritage. The result is an unforgettable spiritual travelogue that captures the heart and the imagination of the seeker and traveller in us all.

    Dear Bob and Sue is the story of our (Matt and Karen Smith's) journey to all 59 U.S. National Parks. We wrote the book as a series of emails to our friends, Bob and Sue, in which we share our humorous and quirky observations. It is at times irreverent, unpredictable and sarcastic, all in the spirit of humor. We describe a few of our experiences in each park but do not provide an exhaustive overview of each experience or park. We use these events as the vehicle to deliver insights about our relationship. We did not intend for this book to be a travel guide nor a recommendation for how to visit all 59 of the U.S. National Parks, although many readers have said they've found it to be a useful guide. Rather, it is our story about how we did it.
