Journeys of a Lifetime: 500 of the World's Greatest Trips |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: All you want to know in a nutshell
Comments: If you are looking for a traveller guide which will guide you to the not to be missed locations in this world then this is the1for you. The photos are awesome and the description of each location, although only1page long is sufficient to give you a great idea about what to expect. There is also a small section on tips which really give you some out of the way ideas to do at each location. All in all I highly endorse this book. |

Summary: Great Travel Book, Average+ Photo Book
Comments: This book generally fulfilled my expectations as a travel book. It gives a great number of amazing destinations with enough info to allow you search further. I also liked the idea of splitting the trips by means of travel (boat, plane, train, car, 2-legs, 4-legs, etc).
On the other hand, as an amateur photographer/photo enthusiast and an overall National Geographic fun, I found the photos as well as the printing quality of the book not of the best quality, or at least not of the quality that NG normally supply in their photo books.
Overall, a great publication that I would endorse!!
Check out also "Where To Go When" (Eyewitness Travel Guides) - DK Publishing. Highly endorseed, great travel book, great photo book too!!!!!! |

Summary: Not the best of its kind
Comments: I was hoping for something along the lines of A Year of Adventures: Lonely Planet's Guide to Where, What And When to Do It however I did not like this as much. It's divided up into chapters for different modes of travel, which means (for example) that there is a whole section on train trips. That's not really my thing.
When I purchase travel books, I want to learn about places I'd never heard of before. That's getting tougher, 'cause I have heard of all kinds of places - did you know we have a whole state called "Delaware"? - however there are still a few out there. almost all of them aren't in this book.
Get "A Year of Adventures" instead. |
