      Synopsis

       

      Make the Most of Your Time on Earth: A Rough Guide to the World with 1000 must-do experiences from around the world, Make the Most of Your Time on Earth is a book that will inspire everyone. Perfect for both the seasoned traveller and the armchair dreamer, it brings you the very best travel experiences - extraordinary landscapes, jaw-dropping architecture, white-knuckle adventures, and the world’s best beaches. From Intrepid travel adventures such as trekking to the source of the Ganges, cycling the Karokoram Highway and hiking Corsica’s GR20, to suggestions for the perfect places to stay- have you ever tried sleeping in a yurt in Inner Mongolia or chilled out at the Icehotel in Sweden? For amazing wildlife why not look for lemurs in Madagascar or go platypus-watching in Australia. Don’t forget the world’s most spectacular festivals including Queen’s Day in Amsterdam, Trinidad carnival and the camel fair in Pushkar. Whether you are tempted by living in an African village or tagging dolphins on the Spanish coast, there’s all manner of ethical travel experiences to keep those feet itching!

      The very best things to see or do, and not before you die, but now.

      I would not recommend this book if the reader is looking for specific information for a vacation.by JXV

      April 10, 2009: The countries listed are not all together. As, you jump from Italy, to Greece, back to Italy, and then on to someplace else. The places listed are not usual tourist attractions and you would not find them in another book. There are few pictures and almost no directions for finding the attraction. The articles are short, without much detailed information. I was disappointed in this book. I like to travel and did not find this book helpful.
