A guide to some of the world's most fascinating places, as seen and
experienced by writer, television host, and relentlessly curious
traveler Anthony Bourdain
Anthony Bourdain saw more of the world than nearly anyone. His travels
took him from the hidden pockets of his hometown of New York to a tribal
longhouse in Borneo, from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, Paris, and Shanghai
to Tanzania's utter beauty and the stunning desert solitude of Oman's
Empty Quarter--and many places beyond.
In World Travel, a life of experience is collected into an
entertaining, practical, fun and frank travel guide that gives readers
an introduction to some of his favorite places--in his own words.
Featuring essential advice on how to get there, what to eat, where to
stay and, in some cases, what to avoid, World Travel provides
essential context that will help readers further appreciate the reasons
why Bourdain found a place enchanting and memorable.
Supplementing Bourdain's words are a handful of essays by friends,
colleagues, and family that tell even deeper stories about a place,
including sardonic accounts of traveling with Bourdain by his brother,
Christopher; a guide to Chicago's best cheap eats by legendary music
producer Steve Albini, and more. Additionally, each chapter includes
illustrations by Wesley Allsbrook.
For veteran travelers, armchair enthusiasts, and those in between,
World Travel offers a chance to experience the world like Anthony
Bourdain.
