Summary:

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 Boudrain saw more of the world than nearly anyone. His travels took him from the hidden pockets of his hometown of New Yrok to a tribal longhouse in Borneo; from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, Paris, and Shanghai to Tanzania's utterly beautiful Serengeti and the stunning desert solitude of Oman's Empty Quarter--and many places beyond. In World Travel, a lifetime of experience is collected into an entertaining, practical, fun, and frank travel guide that introduces readers to some of his favorite places--in his own words. Featuring essential advice on getting there, what to eat, where to stay, and, in some cases, what to avoid, World Travel provides crucial context that will help readers appreciate why Boudain found these destinations so enchanting and memorable. Supplementing Bourdain's impressions are a handful of essays by friends, colleagues, and family that tell even deeper stories, including sardonic travel accounts by his brother, Chris; a guide to Chicago's best cheap eats by legendary music producer Steve Albini; and many more. Additionally, each chapter includes sly, witty illustrations by artist Wesley Allsbrook. For veteran travelers, armchair enthusiasts, and everyone in between, World Travel offers a chance to experience the world as Anthony Bourdain did. -- From dust jacket.
