A guide to some of the world’s most fascinating places, as seen and experienced by writer, television host, and relentlessly curious traveler Anthony Bourdain Anthony Bourdain saw more of the world than nearly anyone.

Supplementing Bourdain’s words are a handful of essays by friends, colleagues, and family that tell even deeper stories about a place, including sardonic accounts of traveling with Bourdain by his brother, Christopher; a guide to Chicago’s best cheap eats by legendary music producer Steve Albini, and more.

Book Description
Live Anywhere On The Go Discovering The World Have you ever wished that you could solely travel all over the world to anywhere you want at any time - no matter how little to no money you have? Even better, what if you are a homebody who has never been anywhere in your life outside of the state and don’t speak any other language but your own native tongue - yet can now communicate with the locals in any foreign country and make it your new home out of many? Just admit that it’s certainly something that you would like to experience, or at the very least curious about, and are probably even secretly jealous of all those nomadic backpackers who are able to do it every single day of the year as their permanent vacation and make a desirable life out of it. While you’re monotonously wasting your life away with routines and work, waiting for the day to end, these peripatetics can’t wait for theirs to begin on whatever next exciting adventure may be or wherever life leads. Life’s not fair...or is it? There’s nothing special about these worldly travelers from you. In fact, anybody can take up this traveling lifestyle if they have the gumption to take action. So do you feel like life has become boring and meaningless? Do you need a change in pace? Do you need a reset button? Then traveling is exactly what the doctor ordered and the best remedy for those needing to reinvigorate their mind, body, and soul. The willingness to explore and experience new cultures and different people will stimulate your passion for life again. Now, this sounds amazing and all...but what about money, time, job, family, obligations, and other things holding you back from traveling? Yes, all of these things and many more can be overcome and will be addressed in your all-in-one practical travel guide: “Worldly Traveler.” Get all the secret pro-insider scoops to traveling around the world that experts use: - Guide on How to Start and Handle Your Many Current Life Setbacks - Guide on How to Pack Everything You Need and Prevent Problems Later - Guide on How to Book Any Flight and Transportation for Very Low Cost - Guide on How to Find the Best Hotel Deals and Free Accommodation - Guide on How to Make Money and Sustain Your Travel on the Road - Guide on How to Use Travel Technologies and Tools to Make Life Easier - Guide on How to Take Your Travel to a Whole New Memorable Level - Guide on How to Have All the Recommended Resources at Your Disposal Imagine being able to live every day anew full of excitement traveling, because life is far more than waking up each day and going to work. Imagine being able to simply grab your backpack right now and hop onto the next flight out of here to anywhere and make it your new home regardless of your life situation and monetary status, living in the present moment? That is what being a worldly traveler can do - as an international resident of the world never sitting in one place but constantly moving from one thrilling experience to another, exploring all the hidden unknowns and sightseeing the most beautiful attractions, tasting new exquisite foods while becoming culturally enriched with new perspectives, and creating unforgivable stories to tell of their adventures of their younger days to their grandkids. Well, what are you waiting for? You are about to miss your next opportune flight. Aboard your flight now!

Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
The Follow Me project was created in 2012 based on the concept of showing the beauty and uniqueness of different locations around the world. It is a story told through the eyes of two ordinary travelers who attempt to portray local lifestyles and narratives by means of photography. Since the project’s launch on Instagram, it has become a worldwide Internet sensation, emerging as a leading news feature and gathering millions of views on social media and the news sites that covered it. In each stunning image, photographer Murad Osmann is led to a new location by his girlfriend, Nataly Zakharova. These images remind us that in the hustle and bustle of daily life, we so often forget to stop and appreciate the things that surround us—the historical and architectural heritage left to us by our ancestors. Readers join Osmann from the point of view of the main character and are taken on a journey to different historical and cultural sites. The project aims to acquaint readers with different lifestyles. For Osmann and Zakharova, this theme seems infinite, as there are an endless number of places to visit on our planet. Paging through the book, readers will be invited to see something familiar to them from another point of view, via the lens of Osmann’s camera. Follow Zakharova and Osmann on a trip around the world, through such locations as Moscow, Madrid, Ibiza, Hong Kong, New York, and London.
