If you are travelling there are inevitably times when you will want something to do to keep you occupied. Whether this is during downtime after a day exploring or during long flights or train journeys.
I am a huge fan of quizzes and puzzles which is one reason you will find them on my website but I also enjoy relaxing with some coloured pencils and colouring-in. The fairly recent phenomenon of adult colouring-in books seems to have resonated with lots of people if their popularity is anything to go by.
This post combines a love of travel with the enjoyment of relaxing and colouring with some of the best travel colouring books available. Colour in and be inspired by the various destinations covered in these books.
These are ideal gifts for travel lovers too so if you are looking for gift inspiration for the travel lover in your life you will find it in this article. (Just don’t forget to buy some coloured pencils to go with them!)
