Consider Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. Recommended by 2 sources.
“Eat Pray Love reads like a personal travel diary stitched into three acts: indulgent, sensory Italian pleasure; slow, instruction-style spiritual time in an ashram; and reflective, relational closure in Bali. Its useful part is a candid first-person voice that makes small moments — meals, mantras, landscapes — vivid and immediate, useful when you want emotive travel writing and honest self-questioning. Its main limitation is repetition and a sometimes indulgent tone; the narrative can feel circular and light on concrete takeaway.”
