"The open road, the possibility of getting lost in nature, the
curiosity of who we will meet... In Road Trips, Jen brings the
romanticism of the road to practice through her practical advice,
recipes, and breathtaking photographs. Not only can we live
vicariously through Jen's adventures but also get us ready for our
own."—Aran Goyoaga, creator of Cannelle et Vanille and author of
Small Plates & Sweet Treats
"Ah, road trips. Just the phrase evokes so many memories and
so many more possibilities. Jen CK Jacobs has managed to
distill that feeling in a book. Like the travel version
of Marie Kondo’s Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up, Jen breaks
travel planning down--from packing to car readiness--and makes
it all seem feasible. But the greatest importance of Road
Trips lies in its clear-sighted encouragement to travel more,
no excuses and no plane ticket needed. In a world of worries, road
trips (perhaps one this very weekend!), offer much needed respite
for us all."—Maryam Montague, author of Marrakesh by
Design
"Jacobs’ personal, attractively illustrated, and readable guide to
planning, enjoying, and documenting road trips also includes handy
before-you-go checklists and helpful tips."—Booklist
