Welcome to the October 2017 issue of online magazine Perceptive Travel, the home of great travel stories from book authors and the latest notable travel book and world music reviews. Here's what we've got in store for you:

Hula is Life: The Legacy of Hawaii - Michele Bigley
An accomplished dancer who has mastered many forms struggles to get in the groove of hula, the story telling moves from the distant Pacific islands.
Crossing the Creases of Wild Kyrgyzstan - Tim Leffel
Going off the grid in the mountainous country of Kyrgyzstan means saying goodbye to creature comforts, connectivity, and humans to find unspoiled nature in its primal form.
