In this unique travel planner, award-winning travel writer and veteran globe-trotter David Yeadon reveals 40 unspoiled and undiscovered earthly paradises.
Far from the crowds and the chaos, David Yeadon explores hidden Edens around the globe in this book. Known for his ability to lead travellers through exotic landscapes - the spiritual as well as the topographical - Yeadon roams the world like the Earth gypsy he is, stopping off in the South Pacific, Asia, South America, Europe, and the United States.
From the pristine beaches and secluded coves of Fiji and the Azores to Ireland's wild Dingle Peninsula and the magical temple towns of India, Yeadon examines the "inner journey" aspect of each Shangri-La with subtle humour and worldly charm. His vivid and entertaining personal essays give the book the qualities of a trusted guide and friendly confidant.
A "Travelwise" section rounds out each experience with practical recommendations on how to get there, what to see and do, and where to stay and dine.
Richly illustrated with spectacular colour photographs, this book will captivate both armchair explorers and independent travellers seeking something a little richer and deeper in their wanderings.
Includes 100 full-colour photographs and 15 maps.
