111 Adventures Around The World That You Must Not Miss

If it’s true that, as the old saying goes, “travel is the only thing we buy that makes us richer,” then 111 Adventures Around the World That You Must Not Miss may as well be a goldmine. From the award-winning author, photographer and globetrotter Herbert Ypma, this book is packed with an exotic array of fascinating and unusual excursions not found in your average travel guide. These spots were all compiled from Ypma’s own travels over the course of over two decades and many were places he originally visited out of sheer luck or happenstance. It’s this same spirit of exploration and open-mindedness that led him to these unique locales that Ypma hopes to inspire in his readers. A diverse collection of destinations and experiences awaits within these pages, including a walking safari through the African bush; snorkeling along the wild coast of the Musandam Peninsula; a rickshaw journey to China’s Leaping Tiger Gorge; a hike to Nepal’s Peace Pagoda; an interactive art installation on the bay of Italy’s Castel di Tusa; hot spring soaking high in the Andes; a cycling trip across the charming Île de Ré; candlelit dinner in an 18th-century Alpine barn; a nighttime temple tour along the Nile River; and a swim in the grottos of Capri, just to name a few. Also included are stays in everything from a frontier ghost town, a Venice boathouse, and an Arctic igloo to a prehistoric cave, a Sardinian lighthouse and an 800-year-old Normandy chateau. Divided into twelve chapters by activity types, each adventure is expertly described in a brief essay and captured in stunning photographs that will have you ready to book your tickets. A must-have for any world traveler’s coffee table, this book is the perfect antidote to any feelings of wanderlust.
