Secret Wonders: Surprising Adventures for the Intrepid Traveler
Autor Peter Guttmanen Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 noi 2026
The magical secret sauce for a memorable, well-lived life is largely cooked up by what one DOES.
D = Do (engaging adventures and experiences)
O = Observe (viewing spectacles and festivities)
E = Eat (indulging in food and drink)
S = Sleep (slumber in dreamy and fantastical abodes)
Do, Observe, Eat, and Sleep provide the backbone for three-time Travel Journalist of the Year Peter Guttman's photographic volume showcasing hundreds of travel experiences not found in conventional travel guidebooks or included in standard corporate packages.
Secret Wonders features striking, off-the-beaten-path ideas and experiences that haven't been featured in dozens of TikToks and Reels from standard travel influencers. Take in spectacles and settings that are hidden, remote, eccentric, or obscure, many rooted in hyperlocal traditions, artisanal practices, or artistic ideals. Experience the wonder to be found in an awe-inspiring destination––a wonder that may spark further curiosity, exploration, and even personal transformation. To that end, a directory appendix assists travel lovers in planning these experiences at newfound dream destinations for themselves.
