Great destinations. I have been to all of them except Mesopotamia and Machu Picchu. Fantastic places.
Machu Picchu is one of my dream destinations!

I tried to spread out as much as I could. Of course I had to add Antwerp too 😂
Great picks! I love that you have all real-world destinations.
I needed it to fit with Nonfiction November 😂
I haven’t been to any of these destinations, but I’d love to go to Petra and Machu Picchu someday. Very fun TTT list. 😀
Petra would is so stunning on pictures and videos, I imagine it’s even better in person!
Great topic.

But there are so many amazing nonfiction books out there. You just have to find your interest or niche 😊
Nice variety of destinations here. Machu Picchu looks like an amazing place to visit. My sister went last year and LOVED it.
Happy TTT!

When Women Ruled the World sounds like a good read.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
One of my favorite books!
Great list! I haven’t read any of these books before but they look interesting. I like that you chose real destinations. My list definitely has more fictional places than real ones 🙂
