<p><b>"This an intriguing book. Apart from being scholarly, it is of huge interest. I found myself transfixed by many of the journeys described. The book can be read at several levels. Two were more apparent to me. First, there are the individual journeys and stories. In themselves these are fascinating. I wanted to know more about the authors than was present in even these more authentic autoethnographic accounts. Second, there are the implications for the reader and their own life journeys. Bono intoned, ‘I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.’ I wondered, have these authors found it? As readers we are indebted to Professor Grant and Dr Lloyd-Parkes for such a thoughtful collection of ‘travel’ accounts."</b> -- <i>Jerome Carson, PhD, Professor of Psychology, University of Bolton, UK</i><b></b></p>

These narratives span a spectrum from sports and adventure to personal identity, healing through faith, cherished places, nostalgia, overcoming sorrow, nomadic experiences, and spiritual quests...I recommend this book as a foundational text for readers from traditional and practice-based disciplines undertaking qualitative research methods, subscribing to autoethnographic inquiry, and exploring their meaningful journeys of quest and identity transformation. Finally, I also find this book beneficial for crafting my meaningful journeys of quest and identity transformation in the scholarship." </b>-- <i>Niroj Dahal, Kathmandu University, Nepal</i></p>
