We often find ourselves hooked with characters of the mighty, the hopeless romantic, or the adventurous and their stories. It is undeniable that even as a child, we wanted bedtime stories, or even asked our parents to buy us books with colorful drawings and sometimes with pop-up art.
Books were inevitably part of our childhood especially when growing up. We have read school books and when we had the time, novels and poems were always there. But unlike many, Alyne Tamir seemed to have enjoyed books so much that she finished reading more than a thousand books at a young age.

Together with Nas’ famous one-minute videos, some episodes show their travels around the world.
Alyne Tamir is a traveler and a Facebook vlogger with almost three hundred thousand followers. She has travelled to seventy countries in more than two years and travels full-time together with her partner Nuseir Yassin, more commonly known as Nas of Nas Daily.
As a certified bookworm, she often finishes one book in just a day. She shares how books helped her through her travels and how she read more than a thousand books. Books interest her, even as a young child, and she lived with a home library.
“My mom would always read books to me before bed and it was my favorite time of day. The first chapter book I ever read was Winnie the Pooh. I loved it so much,” she adds.
Alyne went to college and enrolled Ancient Near Eastern History and Spanish in Brigham Young University in Utah, USA. As a student of a university for Mormons, she does not drink alcohol or go to parties. Her college activities include camping, road trips and of course, traveling to other countries even before graduating.
“Reading is very important to me in my travels! I did not even have a smart phone for the first seven years of traveling so reading was what I did on long bus rides, airplane rides, or when I’m waiting. Without reading I would’ve been very bored,” she shares.
As her love for reading and traveling grew, she also explored reading novels about countries before booking that ticket to learn more about their culture and local life.

Alyne is an animal lover and admits she loves them sometimes more than she loves humans.
Alyne eats only vegetables and has not eaten meat for more than sixteen years. As an animal lover, one of her favorite books relates to her connection for animals too.
“The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman is one of my favorite books which is the first book in a three book series…it will also teach you a lot about life and control of how life can be fair, and overcoming. It shows you another world,” she remarks.
Her passion for reading might also give birth to her own book, “I’ve been approached by publishers but nothing feels quite right yet. I’m a bit shy with the inner workings of my mind but I hope I can find a way to share them soon. I want people to feel brave to create the life they want and need,” she says.

Nas and Alyne are happily traveling full-time together.
Also as a full-time traveler, she admits that beyond the books, she learns by meeting more people. She adds, “I learned to open my mind and accept that I do not know everything.”
Currently, she also posts video blogs on her Facebook page, Dear Alyne and started a group called Girls Gone Global by Dear Alyne.
“My goal with it is to reach every girl or woman in the WORLD who wants love or excitement or support. We will all have hard times and a community of smart loving women can make it all better,” she shares.
Books might sometimes be overwhelming and tiring to read but these are eye and heart openers to other people’s lives and minds. She shares that reading a long story is not tiring as long as you love the flow of it.
“Read shorter books and start with simple entertaining books. Start simple and find books that excite YOU. Go to a bookstore or library and spend a few hours browsing,” she advises.
