I greatly enjoy traveling and the title of the book made me want to read it. Unfortunately, a lot of the entries were did not appear to be interesting at all, let alond where I would like to spend my days traveling to.

Plenty of inspiration for travel ideas all over the world. Divided geographically. Includes short entries on not-to-be-missed places and events and some fabulous photos.

DNF because the library auto-returned the kindle file but it was great while it lasted.

Fun to read, amazing places to explore, good detailing. How the book is organized might be improved but the randomness of it is somehow part of the good read.

I love this book! It is definitely a must have travel guide. It is also great at providing suggestions on where to head to next with plenty of ideas to suit all personalities, whether you like clubbing or fancy a science walk. If you love travelling and/or are interested in travelling in the future I'd definitely recommend it! ✈

It is a **little** (meaning, translated, "very") touristy. Attempted to use this for travel planning and it was everything awesome and nothing important. Not recommended.
It does have beautiul photos, however, for travel photography inspiration; definitely 100% recommended in this aspect of use.

Nothing rough about this. Nothing special. A compilation of the many must-see blog posts available online with up to date access info, which might be null by the time you get there.
