A Geography of Wonder
Reece Davis
What does it mean to feel awe in an age when every corner of the planet can be seen from a screen?
In A Geography of Wonder, celebrated travel writer Reece Davis sets out on a deeply personal quest — to rediscover the feeling that first drew him to the road: wonder. From Iceland’s volcanic deserts to the emerald jungles of Borneo, from silent Arctic nights to crowded city streets, Davis seeks out places and moments that still have the power to humble and astonish.
Along the way, he reflects on how wonder shapes our understanding of the world — and why, in a time of speed and certainty, slowing down to feel awe might be the greatest act of exploration left.
Blending rich travel narrative with philosophy and poetic insight, A Geography of Wonder is a celebration of curiosity, reverence, and the untamed beauty that still beats within the human spirit.
