Good for seasoned travelers, novices, and … your coffee table I’ve traveled to 28 countries and cumulatively spent 25 months of the last 10 years abroad. My family and friends consider me well-traveled and frequently ask for advice about where they should travel. I have places I remember fondly and can recommend, but travel is so personal, and what is amazing for one person can be lackluster for another. Also, I’ve been a lot of places, but I haven’t actually been EVERYWHERE.So now, when I rattle off recommendations, I also recommend this…
Great list of amazing places I like the way the book is organized. In rank order. It also includes a map of the world with the top 100 places marked. This was helpful when I knew I was going to be in one place in the world due to my job and where were the closest cool things to check out.There is just a paragraph or so on each place. Just enough to give a quick summary which means you don’t have to read through a bunch of stuff you don’t want to to find the places your interested in. Definitely need to have you…
Not as good as the National Geographic Destination of a Lifetime This book isn’t nearly as good as National Geographic s Destinations of a Lifetime. The book itself is curling up at the corners and the photos won’t lay flat. The actual Destinations are good, but many don’t have pictures or tell you more than a sentence or two, so it’s hard to get excited about the places they are telling you about. That being said, the are some nice photos and the map that is included is quite helpful.
