This book is a visual treasure of stunning locations throughout the world, from Himeji Castle, Japan to the shores of Ulva Island, New Zealand. There's an informative overview for each destination, and a section called 'Traveler's Notebook' that highlights planning tips for travel, including the best times to visit.

If you're looking for a compilation of exotic and breathtaking locales, you will really enjoy 'Destinations of a Lifetime: 225 of the World's Most Amazing Places', by National Geographic.

I’ve traveled just a bit in my life…been to Europe and would love to go back but age and health issues prevent me. This book lets me look around the world while sitting comfortably at home. Kinda makes me want to be able to go to these places but it’s a good book.
