When you're on the road or flying to your next destination, there’s nothing like diving into a captivating audiobook to make the journey fly by. Here’s a list of ten must-listen audiobooks, each offering a unique and immersive experience. Whether you’re a fan of historical fiction, mythology, or contemporary tales, there’s something here for every traveler.
And even though having a subscription that gives you access to multiple audiobooks every month is a great option (I use Libro.fm), you can also download audiobooks from your local library, so make sure to sign up for that.
