FAQ
Each box focuses on a country inspired by that month’s book. Our founder personally reviews each book carefully to select literature that is both enjoyable and reflects the culture of the destination. In addition to your new “booked” destination, your box will arrive with
- book, a critically acclaimed and engaging story that reflects the culture of the destination
- a recipe, authentic to the location
- informative materials about the destination (pamphlet, itinerary, or travel guide, etc.),
- an exclusive Bon Voyage bookmark,
- and (our personal favorite) a limited-edition passport sticker to add to your reading passport!
We pride ourselves on quality and authenticity. Crowd your shelves with books and informative materials, not trinkets that will end up in the bin or the back of your closet. See where your next box will take you!
