Brief Description:
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.
