Hi, welcome to Ria Reads the World!
I’m a bookworm and traveler exploring the world through both pages and places. I’ve visited 35 countries and counting, yet my bookshelf isn’t nearly as well-traveled.
This blog is my personal challenge to read books and other literature written by women from every country in the world.
I focus on stories written by women with a strong connection to the places they write about. I want to discover voices that offer insight into local culture, atmosphere, and lived experiences that are often underrepresented in global literature.
Alongside this reading journey, I share travel stories from the places I’ve visited, with reflections from the road and a closer look at how I plan each trip.

Over time, I realized how much I enjoy the process of travel planning just as much as the trip itself. From mapping routes to organizing ideas, it’s a big part of how I experience the world. That’s why I also create simple, thoughtful tools to help you track your reading, plan your travels, and organize them all.
If you’re looking for book recommendations from around the world, travel inspiration, or a way to combine reading and travel, you’re in the right place.
You can follow along, find inspiration, and design your own adventures.
