Leave the Tour Bus Behind

Briton David Yeadon shares a lifetime of travel experience by revealing twenty-seven of his favorite out-of-the-way travel destinations. These gems are scattered across six continents and sorted into three categories: islands, mountains and deserts, and pastoral enclaves. I won't spoil the fun by revealing these idyllic spots. Unlike some travel adventures, these destinations don't seem to be very physically demanding, and so should be accesible to anyone with the time and money to take them there. Armchair travelers beware! You might be calling you travel agent before getting to the last page.
