Adult coloring books have become so popular that they have driven demand for colored pencils. So it's no wonder you can now find books covering everything from Lisa Frank's '90s nostalgia to countries around the world. The hobby has become popular and allows people to de-stress, color to get in a better mood, and see sights they wouldn't otherwise have the chance to see. The wide selection of travel-inspired coloring books for adults makes it easy to daydream about trips to faraway places.
Summer is the perfect time to travel, but since time and money often get in the way, travel books may be the closest you get to your dream destination. Whether it's a work of fiction, a real-life travel story or a coloring book, they allow you to experience the unfamiliar in the comfort of your own home. Travel-inspired coloring books are especially special because they allow you to tap into your creativity and make far-flung places come alive. You won't smell the salty smell of the ocean or hear birds chirping in the trees, but you'll get your money's worth when you relax and have fun.
