Published in 1867, he referred to this trip as the \u201cGreat Pleasure Excursion\u201d. Twain, then aged 32, recounts the journey he took with a group of his American friends from New York to Europe and the Holy Land. This is a read with history, comedy and crass observations. It gives the reader an insight into what it was like to be a young American travelling abroad in the 19th century.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"no-list-style wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalbook.io\/free-audiobook.html#!\/eb1345150de78328a48007fc32a9449d\/Innocents%20Abroad\">Free Audiobook<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalbook.io\/free-ebook.html#!\/ae1cae4c53cedd71a661fdc51db89e88\/The%20Innocents%20Abroad\">Free eBook<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B01MCVS3LU\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=digitalboo025-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B01MCVS3LU&amp;linkId=f70c28428f5cb7890d6f845e468a5895\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Travel as Transformation: Conquer the Limits of Culture to Discover Your Own Identity &#8211; Gregory Diehl<\/a><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><a style=\"box-shadow: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B01M03V3BU\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B01M03V3BU&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=digitalboo025-20&amp;linkId=54dee69fc54abcc1c539cd9f83146b50\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ASIN=B01M03V3BU&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;WS=1&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;tag=digitalboo025-20\" border=\"0\"><\/a>What happens when you put yourself out in the world and discover who you are away from the influences of your usual surroundings?
