In Love and Life Through the Eyes of Travel, the author presents twelve lessons on love and relationships based on his experience traveling with former partners. Each lesson begins with the author’s recollection of a past trip: he recalls the purpose of the journey, describes the woman he invited, and relates an anecdote that serves as a (sometimes negative) exemplar of a healthy relationship. Each lesson includes several accompanying proclamations and affirmations that generalize his experience; these often take the form of advice directed at the reader. The author includes sixty proclamations in all, covering such topics as the importance of fidelity; the need to accept one’s partner’s flaws; and the imperative to know oneself before falling in love.

Relationships - both successful or "failed" shape our expectations of and perspectives on Love & Life. Our experiences within those relationships create a subconscious rule book, guidelines for the behaviors and attitudes we are willing to accept from those who join us on this complex journey called life. A self-professed hopeless romantic and an educator by trade, Mawuli Hormeku revisits some of the most impactful love stories of his life, which all share the common thread of centering around his love of travel. From these personal memories, he draws a set of universal lessons that readers can easily apply to their own lives. He bolsters each beautifully recounted tale with photos from the exotic and historical places that inspired these stories, as well as a series of proclamations, explanations and affirmations as a tutorial for those in search of true intimacy. Whether you are looking for love, healing from heartbreak or working to strengthen your partnership, Mawuli offers this raw, honest and poetic collection as a practical guide on how to love, live and learn at your full and healthiest capacity, always keeping the transformative magic of love in focus.
