Description
A Humorous Anti-Travel Guide to the World's Worst Destinations
"This clever collection of travel advisories lists all the places that are definitely not worth a trip, including a rendering plant, Times Square on New Year's Eve, and, bien sûr, Euro Disney." -- Entertainment Weekly
Catherine Price takes readers on a global tour of destinations better left unvisited in this spirited, ingenious collection. From the Grover Cleveland Service Area to the Beijing Museum of Tap Water to Euro Disney, this guide catalogues ill-conceived museums, disappointing theme parks, and notorious Superfund sites that travelers can happily skip.
What Makes This Travel Book Different
This isn't your typical bucket list. 101 Places Not to See Before You Die celebrates the misadventures and mishaps that seasoned travelers know all too well. Price combines her own journalistic adventures with guest entries from notable writers including Nicholas Kristof, Mary Roach, Michael Pollan, Rebecca Solnit, and A.J. Jacobs, creating a collection that proves the worst experiences often become the most memorable stories.
Inside the Book
Each entry offers lively tales of disappointing destinations and travel disasters. Whether it's overcrowded tourist traps, bizarre roadside attractions, or environmental disasters masquerading as attractions, this guide covers the spectrum of places that fail to live up to expectations. The book serves as both entertainment and cautionary tales for anyone planning their next trip.
Perfect for Travel Enthusiasts and Humor Readers
This paperback edition from Harper Perennial combines travel writing with sharp humor, making it ideal for readers who appreciate honest perspectives on tourism and travel culture. The book functions as both a reference guide and an entertaining read, offering insights into why some destinations simply aren't worth the journey.
