| Journeys of a Lifetime: 500 of the World's Greatest Trips by National Geographic The world we live in |
Living in a college town, I have many friends who have traveled the vast reaches of the world. This coffee table book provides a natural segue for them to share their stories, turning to a particular page to say, "Look! I've been there!"
Besides being a good conversation starter, this book is also a great read. Travel "blurbs" are concise, wetting the appetite for adventure. As a teacher, I used this book to introduce my middle school students to corners of the world they never knew existed. You should have seen the excitement in their faces!
The beautiful images in this book do not claim to be a comprehensive travel guide, rather an open door to 500 new adventures. The other night, my fiance and I sat down with this book to choose our honeymoon destination. We love this book! |

| Journeys of a Lifetime: 500 of the World's Greatest Trips by National Geographic Planning a Trip or Just Dreaming About One? |
