Named a Best Gift Book/Best Travel Book of the Year by the New York
Times, Entertainment Weekly, Associated Press, House Beautiful,
Business Insider, The Daily Beast, Forbes, Fodor's, The Points Guy,
Seattle Times, and more "This is the comfort food of travel books.
. . . This book will sweep you off your feet."-New York Times Book
Review "Gorgeous . . . breathtaking . . . spectacular."-Publishers
Weekly Patricia Schultz curates the world. When she published the
original 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, she created not only a
new kind of travel book but also a new way of thinking about our
experiences and interests. Now Schultz captivates our hearts in the
same compelling way her original book spoke to our minds. Moving
from eloquent word to breath-taking image, she takes us on a visual
journey of the best the world has to offer, and as we turn the
pages and pore over these images, we feel it all: joy, curiosity,
awe, passion, nostalgia (if we've been there), inspiration (because
we want to go), and a profound and transforming sense of how lucky
we are to live in a world filled with such beauty and wonder-to see
tributaries of mist curling over the Great Wall, elephants grazing
on the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater, the sun setting on the wild
coast of Donegal, masked whirling dancers at a festival in Bhutan.
The book itself is a thing of beauty, an oversize feast of more
than 1,000 all-new photographs and 544 pages, every spread and page
designed to showcase these mesmerizing photographs and hold just
enough of Schultz's lively text that we know why it is we're
looking at them. It is a perfect gift for every traveller, every
fan of the original, every dreamer whose Instagram feed is filled
with pictures of places near and far.
The world's bestselling travel book is back in a more informative,
more experiential, more budget-friendly full-color edition. A #1
"New York Times" bestseller, "1,000 Places" reinvented the idea of
travel book as both wish list and practical guide. As Newsweek
wrote, it "tells you what's beautiful, what's fun, and what's just
unforgettable-- everywhere on earth." And now the best is better.
There are 600 full-color photographs. Over 200 entirely new
entries, including visits to 28 countries like Lebanon, Croatia,
Estonia, and Nicaragua, that were not in the original edition.
There is an emphasis on experiences: an entry covers not just
Positano or Ravello, but the full 30-mile stretch along the Amalfi
Coast.
Every entry from the original edition has been readdressed,
rewritten, and made fuller, with more suggestions for places to
stay, restaurants to visit, festivals to check out. And throughout,
the book is more budget-conscious, starred restaurants and historic
hotels such as the Ritz, but also moderately priced gems that don't
compromise on atmosphere or charm.
The world is calling. Time to answer.
For years Patricia Schultz has been telling us where to go-her
1,000 Places to See Before You Die (R) books and calendars have
sold millions of copies to eager travelers looking to explore new
destinations and round out bucket lists. Now, in a beautifully
illustrated gift book that's filled with inspiration perfectly
timed to meet the pent-up demand for travel, Patricia Schultz tells
us why to go. Personal stories and anecdotes, quotes about travel,
affirmations, ideas, and travel hacks-and stunning photographs
throughout-Why We Travel comes at its subject from many directions,
but all of them point to the same goal: Travel is one of the most
richly rewarding experiences we can have. It is, as Pico Iyer says,
the place where we stay up late, follow impulse and find ourselves
as wide open as when we are in love. It is something we must do
ourselves, since No one can explore the world for you. It forces us
to go with the flow: When plan B doesn't work, move on in the
alphabet. And it gives us so many memories. Patricia shares some of
her most rewarding, like going on safari in Zambia and finding her
most lasting memory in a classroom of five-year-olds.
Explore the world without leaving home. Adapted from Patricia
Schultz's #1 New York Times bestselling book, here is a year of

River cruise, where you can sail into ancient history. The white
sand beaches and blue waters of the US Virgin Islands. Plus, whale
watching on the Oregon coast, Peru's astonishing Nazca Lines, and
the magic of December in Austria. Each spread is an
itinerary-in-photographs, with dozens of full-colour images
accompanied by engaging text packed with history, highlights, and
traveller's tips.
