Serious or lighthearted, doesn't matter.

Narziss and Goldmund is a book about travelling the land is extremely good, short too, so worth the read even without knowing much about it (I actually went in completely blind, having already read ~5 Hesse works)

Grapes of Wrath is an obvious answer for the story of a travelling group, and it is extremely good.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a philosipcal text with travelling, and if you haven't already started with the Greeks I'd highly recommend The Odyssey.

Finally, adventure? Moby Dick. Read Moby Dick.

Recommending Moby dick when someone asks for adventure is fucking retarded desu.

Not him but how is that retarded? That's a good example of an adventure.

Not really, all the parts about sailing and so is close to this topic.

But you are somewhat right. I'm looking more for books like this.

Steppenwolf and Siddharta didn't blow me away but I'm still going to read Narziss.
