I think this book spoke a lot about toxic masculinity (even though it didn't call it that from what I remember), and while the discussion felt a little dated there were some really important topics. On a less 'deep' note, it also made me add some locations to my travel bucket list!

For me, it's the unmasking of the true life of four men getting to travel together and what they normally talk about. I'm always with girls; I wanted to know how different men's topics are.
Happy reading,
Gelli xoxo

I liked that it was funny (I love books that can make me laugh). I also loved visiting all the lovely places they went to through their eyes. And most of all, I loved seeing the world from a male perspective, the issues they go through.

I liked the book because that teaches everyone out here, that you can live your life to the fullest, all you need is a fool-proof plan and a bunch of good friends. It also inspired me to have an experience of such a crazy adventure.

In this book, I found Sam's character to be very awe inspiring. His grit and determination is something that I'm trying to (hopefully) replicate in my own life.

The male protagonist showed me how to be a good father, good husband, and a great friend. He did all this in one go and I love how he lived his life. Man mission is a really great inspiration for me. It showed me how these things will make our day more beautiful. They lived the life to the fullest nothing to regret they will feel proud when they remember all the memories they gathered in each mountain and river they hiked and kayaked.

Everyone deserves to have a big, epic life, including amazing travel experiences, if that's what they enjoy. Find a way to make it happen, and don't let anything get in your way. I love that this book reinforces that message.

For me, it was important because it gave me an inside look into how some men think. It also made me want to travel to Korea.

I think it was an important reminder that the end goal is to live a happy life and the way to do that is by doing the things you love with the people you love. As much as the protagonist's life fell apart, he had beautiful memories of times when he was happy. The trips with his friends were solace for him.

It got to point that I had to really think about my life as a young man. The experiences of the characters, the main character especially, are so real. I had to reflect on life. It's not just about money and work. Family and happiness matter a lot.
