Unboxing: Wanderbookbox Ancient Greece

“It’s a very Greek idea, and a very profound one. Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it.”

Wanderbookbox is a Philippine-based book subscription box focused on travel themed curation of books and bookish merchandise. As you may already know, I have had the pleasure of helping the Wanderbookbox team with the creation of the November box as their ambassador for the month. I had so much fun because the destination is to one of my favorite fictional worlds: Greek Mythology 🏛

I am so thrilled to show you how it all turned out. Let’s proceed to the unboxing ✨

The November box destination is Ancient Greece and had the theme of “Gift from the Gods”. 💫
