Rediscovering travel: a guide for the globally curious
(Book)
An indispensable companion for rookie and veteran travelers alike, this book promises to revolutionize both how and why we vacation. Seth Kugel's famously unassuming journeys around the globe have forged a signature philosophy of whimsy and practicality, but they have also revealed the seemingly infinite booby traps of on-the-grid tourism. In a book with widespread cultural reverberations, Kugel takes the modern travel industry to task, determined to reignite humanity’s age-old sense of adventure that has virtually been vanquished by the likes of Google Maps, TripAdvisor, and Starwood points. Woven throughout with vivid tales of his perfectly imperfect adventures, this book explains—often hilariously—how to make the most of new digital technologies without being shackled to them. For the tight-belted tourist and the first-class flyer, the eager student and the comfort-seeking retiree, Kugel shows how we too can rediscover the joy of discovery.
