True North - Paul Theroux Cover Art

True North

True North On the Road in Canada by Paul Theroux

A Toronto Star bestseller Acclaimed, bestselling author and "“master of modern travel writing” ( Wall Street Journal) Paul Theroux turns his gaze to Canada in a sweeping, personal journey. For more than half a century, Paul Theroux has traveled the globe and chronicled its far corners with curiosity, wit, and an unflinching eye. With True North , his twelfth travel book, he turns that eye to a country that has long been his quiet neighbor: Canada. What begins as the completion of a North American road trip trilogy becomes something more personal. Theroux traces his own ancestral connection to Quebec, where his forebear Antoine Theroux arrived in the 17th century. Theroux meets his Quebcois friends and relations, then travels more widely through remote villages, multicultural cities, and sweeping landscapes that have defined modern Canada. Along the way, he speaks with farmers, refugees, writers like John Irving and Michael Ondaatje, and Indigenous leaders such as Tanya Talaga, listening as Canadians reckon with identity, belonging, and patriotism, often in response to the jabs and provocations of their southern neighbor. From snowbound Ottawa at the height of political protests to the Viking settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows, from Toronto's "ethno-burbs" to Vancouver's Pacific gateway, True North is a panoramic portrait of a vast country both familiar and elusive. It is also a meditation on kinship, migration, and the resilience of a people shaped by history, geography, and challenging weather. With the empathy of a companion and the sharpness of a cultural critic, Theroux delivers a timely, vivid travel narrative that reveals Canada as never before—diverse, unsettled, and alive with stories.

Lasso the Wind - Timothy Egan Cover Art

Lasso the Wind

Lasso the Wind Away to the New West by Timothy Egan

A New York Times Notable Book of the Year Winner of the Mountains and Plains Book Seller's Association Award "Sprawling in scope. . . . Mr. Egan uses the past powerfully to explain and give dimension to the present." -- The New York Times "Fine reportage . . . honed and polished until it reads more like literature than journalism." -- Los Angeles Times "They have tried to tame it, shave it, fence it, cut it, dam it, drain it, nuke it, poison it, pave it, and subdivide it," writes Timothy Egan of the West; still, "this region's hold on the American character has never seemed stronger." In this colorful and revealing journey through the eleven states west of the 100th meridian, Egan, a third-generation westerner, evokes a lovely and troubled country where land is religion and the holy war between preservers and possessors never ends. Egan leads us on an unconventional, freewheeling tour: from America's oldest continuously inhabited community, the Ancoma Pueblo in New Mexico, to the high kitsch of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, where London Bridge has been painstakingly rebuilt stone by stone; from the fragile beauty of Idaho's Bitterroot Range to the gross excess of Las Vegas, a city built as though in defiance of its arid environment. In a unique blend of travel writing, historical reflection, and passionate polemic, Egan has produced a moving study of the West: how it became what it is, and where it is going. "The writing is simply wonderful. From the opening paragraph, Egan seduces the reader. . . . Entertaining, thought provoking." -- The Arizona Daily Star Weekly "A western breeziness and love of open spaces shines through Lasso the Wind . . . . The writing is simple and evocative." -- The Economist

Moving to Argentina - Alex Bugeja Cover Art

Moving to Argentina

Moving to Argentina A Guide for Prospective Expatriates by Alex Bugeja

Moving to Argentina is more than a relocation; it’s an immersion into a vibrant, chaotic, and deeply rewarding way of life, and this guide equips you with the practical know‑how to thrive from day one. You’ll learn how to navigate the notoriously fluid visa landscape, choose the right residency path, and gather the essential documents—apostilles, translations, and police certifications—without getting lost in endless bureaucratic loops. The book demystifies Argentina’s unique financial ecosystem, teaching you to leverage the blue dollar, MEP transfers, and trusted exchange methods so your foreign income stretches further and you avoid costly pitfalls when paying for everything from rent to groceries. Beyond paperwork, you’ll gain hands‑on strategies for securing a home in Buenos Aires’ competitive rental market, including how to overcome the guarantor requirement with rental insurance, decipher lease clauses that protect you from unfair rent hikes, and set up utilities, internet, and a local bank account—whether you opt for a traditional bank or a streamlined fintech solution. Daily survival skills are covered in detail: mastering the SUBE card and public transit, decoding supermarket weighing systems, ordering the perfect cut of meat at the butcher, and timing your meals to match the city’s famously late dining schedule, all while staying safe from common scams and pickpocket tricks. Cultural integration is at the heart of the experience, and this guide walks you through the unwritten rules that turn a newcomer into a true Porteño. You’ll absorb the nuances of Argentine Spanish—vos, Lunfardo slang, and the art of the cheek‑kiss greeting—learn to share mate without offending the cebador, embrace the asado as a social ritual, and understand why football, politics, and late‑night conversations are the lifeblood of local interaction. Chapters on healthcare, remote work versus local employment, and making friends through language exchanges and hobby clubs ensure you can build a support network and feel at home both practically and emotionally. Finally, the book prepares you for the longer‑term journey, from renewing your residency to achieving permanent status, and even hints at the path to citizenship. Weekend getaways to Tigre, Colonia, Iguazú Falls, Mendoza, and Patagonia are suggested so you can experience the country’s breathtaking diversity beyond the capital. By the time you finish, you’ll have a clear roadmap, a set of coping strategies, and the confidence to turn Argentina’s organized chaos into your own fulfilling adventure.

Tracks - Robyn Davidson Cover Art

Tracks

Tracks One Woman's Journey Across 1,700 Miles of Australian Outback by Robyn Davidson

The incredible true story of one woman's solo adventure across the Australian outback, accompanied by her faithful dog and four unpredictable camels. I arrived in the Alice at five a.m. with a dog, six dollars and a small suitcase full of inappropriate clothes. . . . There are some moments in life that are like pivots around which your existence turns. For Robyn Davidson, one of these moments comes at age twenty-seven in Alice Springs, a dodgy town at the frontier of the vast Australian desert. Davidson is intent on walking the 1,700 miles of desolate landscape between Alice Springs and the Indian Ocean, a personal pilgrimage with her dog—and four camels. Tracks is the beautifully written, compelling true story of the author's journey and the love/hate relationships she develops along the way: with the Red Centre of Australia; with aboriginal culture; with a handsome photographer; and especially with her lovable and cranky camels, Bub, Dookie, Goliath, and Zeleika.   Adapted into a critically acclaimed film starring Mia Wasikowska and Adam Driver, Tracks is an unforgettable story that proves that anything is possible. Perfect for fans of Cheryl Strayed's Wild .

Travels with Charley - John Steinbeck Cover Art

Travels with Charley

Travels with Charley In Search of America by John Steinbeck

A quest across America, from the northernmost tip of Maine to California’s Monterey Peninsula. To hear the speech of the real America, to smell the grass and the trees, to see the colors and the light—these were John Steinbeck's goals as he set out, at the age of fifty-eight, to rediscover the country he had been writing about for so many years. With Charley, his French poodle, Steinbeck drives the interstates and the country roads, dines with truckers, encounters bears at Yellowstone and old friends in San Francisco. Along the way he reflects on the American character, racial hostility, the particular form of American loneliness he finds almost everywhere, and the unexpected kindness of strangers.

The Three Voyages of Captain Cook Round the World (Vol. 1-7) (Annotated) - James Cook, Georg Forster, James King, e-artnow, Joseph Banks & John Hawkesworth Cover Art

The Three Voyages of Captain Cook Round the World (Vol. 1-7) (Annotated)

The Three Voyages of Captain Cook Round the World (Vol. 1-7) (Annotated) Enriched Edition. The Complete History of the Ground-breaking Journey by James Cook, Georg Forster, James King, e-artnow, Joseph Banks & John Hawkesworth

The Three Voyages of Captain Cook Round the World gathers in seven volumes one of the eighteenth century's most influential bodies of travel writing, combining nautical record, ethnographic observation, natural history, and imperial encounter. Its narratives range from logbook precision to reflective description, charting the Pacific, Antarctic waters, and northwest American coast while recording encounters in Tahiti, New Zealand, Hawai'i, and beyond. Standout episodes—first landfalls, perilous ice navigation, and the dramatic final voyage—reveal both the ambition and the tensions of Enlightenment exploration. The contributing voices bring complementary authority to this monumental record: Cook's practical seamanship and disciplined observation, Forster's philosophically informed attention to peoples and environments, and King's continuation of the final voyage after Cook's death. Together, they reflect the scientific, maritime, and imperial currents of the Age of Enlightenment, when exploration served astronomy, cartography, commerce, and empire. Their varied perspectives illuminate not only distant geographies but also European methods of classifying, interpreting, and often misunderstanding the wider world. Readers seeking a foundational archive of global encounter will find this collection indispensable. It offers a rare opportunity to examine exploration literature across multiple expeditions, styles, and intellectual agendas, fostering dialogue among navigation, science, cultural description, and colonial history within a single, expansive work.

Into the Ice The Northwest Passage, the Polar Sun, and a 175-Year-Old Mystery by Mark Synnott

New York Times bestselling author Mark Synnott has climbed with Alex Honnold. He’s scaled Mount Everest. He's pioneered big-wall first ascents, including the north-west face of the mile-high Great Trango Tower, and skied monster first descents. But in 2022, he realized there was a dream he’d yet to achieve: to sail the Northwest Passage in his own boat-- a feat only four hundred or so sailors have ever accomplished—and in doing so, try to solve the mystery of what happened to legendary nineteenth-century explorer Sir John Franklin and his ships, HMS Erebus and Terror . Only a few hundred vessels have ever transited the Northwest Passage, and substantially fewer have done so in a fiberglass-hulled boat like Polar Sun. But Mark was determined to return to the Arctic, where he cut his teeth as a young climber, and in the process investigate one of the great mysteries of exploration: What really happened to Sir John Franklin and his entire 128-man crew, which disappeared into these ice-strewn waters 175 years ago? In this pulse-pounding travelogue, Mark Synnott paints a vivid portrait of the Arctic, which is currently warming twice as fast as any other part of our planet. He weaves its history and people into the first-person account of his epic journey through the Northwest Passage, searching for Franklin's tomb along the way-- all while trying to avoid a similar fate. In Into the Ice , Mark and his crew race against time and treacherous storms in search of answers to the greatest mystery of all time: What is it that drives someone to risk it all in the name of exploration?

Exploring galleries, basements, rooftops, and gardens, Sciolino demystifies the Louvre, introducing us to her favorite artworks, both legendary and overlooked, and to the people who are the museum’s lifeblood: the curators, the artisans producing frames and engravings, the builders overseeing restorations, the firefighters protecting the aging structure. Blending investigative journalism, travelogue, history, and memoir, Sciolino walks her readers through the museum’s front gates and immerses them in its irresistible, engrossing world of beauty and culture. Adventures in the Louvre reveals the secrets of this grand monument of Paris and basks in its timeless, seductive power.

Voyage For Madmen, A - Peter Nichols Cover Art

Voyage For Madmen, A

Voyage For Madmen, A by Peter Nichols

"An extraordinary story of bravery and insanity on the high seas. . . . One of the most gripping sea stories I have ever read." — Sebastian Junger, author of The Perfect Storm In the tradition of Into Thin Air and The Perfect Storm , comes a breathtaking piece of maritime history and an oceanic adventure about an obsessive desire to test the limits of human endurance. In 1968, nine sailors set off on the most daring race ever held—the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race—and never before completed: to single-handedly circumnavigate the globe nonstop. Ten months later, only one of the nine men would cross the finish line and earn fame, wealth, and glory. For the others, the reward was madness, failure, and death. Gorgeously written and meticulously researched by author Peter Nichols, this extraordinary true story of survival chronicles the contest of the individual against the sea, waged at a time before cell phones, satellite dishes, and electronic positioning systems. A Voyage for Madmen is a tale of sailors driven by their own dreams and demons, of horrific storms, and of those riveting moments when a decision means the difference between life and death. This definitive account of the legendary Golden Globe Race goes inside each boat to chronicle the harrowing truth of what happened on the high seas. The Daring First Golden Globe: In 1968, nine men set off on a challenge thought impossible—to sail alone, nonstop around the world. Nine Sailors, One Survivor: Ten months later, only one would cross the finish line. For the others, the race ended in madness, failure, and death. Desperate Conditions at Sea: A riveting account of horrific storms and life-or-death decisions in the age before GPS, satellite phones, or electronic positioning systems. A True Story of Obsession: Gorgeously written and deeply researched, this is the unforgettable story of the dreams and demons that drove each man to his fate.

Leave Only Footprints - Conor Knighton Cover Art

Leave Only Footprints

Leave Only Footprints My Acadia-to-Zion Journey Through Every National Park by Conor Knighton

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A delightful sampler plate of our national parks, written with charisma and erudition.”—Nick Offerman, author of Paddle Your Own Canoe From CBS Sunday Morning correspondent Conor Knighton, a behind-the-scenery look at his year traveling to each of America's National Parks, discovering the most beautiful places and most interesting people our country has to offer NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY OUTSIDE When Conor Knighton set off to explore America's "best idea," he worried the whole thing could end up being his worst idea. A broken engagement and a broken heart had left him longing for a change of scenery, but the plan he'd cooked up in response had gone a bit overboard in that department: Over the course of a single year, Knighton would visit every national park in the country, from Acadia to Zion.   In Leave Only Footprints, Knighton shares informative and entertaining dispatches from what turned out to be the road trip of a lifetime. Whether he's waking up early for a naked scrub in a historic bathhouse in Arkansas or staying up late to stargaze along our loneliest highway in Nevada, Knighton weaves together the type of stories you're not likely to find in any guidebook. Through his unique lens, America the Beautiful becomes America the Captivating, the Hilarious, and the Inspiring. Along the way, he identifies the threads that tie these wildly different places together—and that tie us to nature—and reveals how his trip ended up changing his views on everything from God and love to politics and technology.   Filled with fascinating tidbits about our parks' past and reflections on their fragile future, this book is both a celebration of and a passionate case for the natural wonders that all Americans share.

Lagom - Linnea Dunne Cover Art

Lagom

Lagom The Swedish Art of Balanced Living by Linnea Dunne

Step aside Hygge . Lagom is the new Scandi lifestyle trend taking the world by storm. This delightfully illustrated book gives you the lowdown on this transformative approach to life and examines how the lagom ethos has helped boost Sweden to the No.10 ranking in 2017's World Happiness Report. Lagom (pronounced 'lah-gom') has no equivalent in the English language but is loosely translated as 'not too little, not too much, just right'. It is widely believed that the word comes from the Viking term 'laget om', for when a mug of mead was passed around a circle and there was just enough for everyone to get a sip. But while the anecdote may hit the nail on the head, the true etymology of the word points to an old form of the word 'lag', which means 'law'. Far from restrictive, lagom is a liberating concept , praising the idea that anything more than 'just enough' is a waste of time. Crucially it also comes with a selflessness and core belief of responsibility and common good. By living lagom you can: Live a happier and more balanced life Reduce your environmental impact Improve your work-life balance Free your home from clutter Enjoy good food the Swedish way Grow your own and learn to forage Cherish the relationships with those you love

A native of Boston, Lobrano moved to Paris in 1986 and never looked back.

Delia And Mark Owens In Africa - Delia Owens Cover Art

Delia And Mark Owens In Africa

Delia And Mark Owens In Africa A Life in the Wild by Delia Owens

Delia Owens, author of the best-selling Where the Crawdads Sing, began her career writing riveting real-life adventure and wildlife tales with her husband, Mark Owens. Collected in a single volume for the first time, these three odysseys show how the Owenses’ “ingenuity, courage, and accomplishment are beyond exaggeration.” (People) Carrying little more than a change of clothes and a pair of binoculars, two young Americans, Delia and Mark Owens, caught a plane to Africa, bought a third-hand Land Rover, and drove deep into the Kalahari Desert. In this vast wilderness they met animals that had never seen humans before, and leopards, giraffes, and brown hyenas were regular visitors to their camp, all chronicled in Cry of the Kalahari. But the Kalahari is not Eden, and Mark and Delia were continually threatened by wildfires, drought, violent storms, and sometimes by the animals they studied and loved. They set off on another African odyssey in search of a new wilderness in The Eye of the Elephant. They land in a remote valley of Zambia, where the hippos swam in the river just below their tents, lions stalked the bush, and elephants wandered into camp to eat marula fruits. The peace, though, was soon shattered with gunfire, and Delia and Mark were inexorably drawn into a high-stakes struggle to save the wildlife. With Secrets of the Savanna, Delia and Mark tell the dramatic story of their last years in Africa, fighting to save elephants, villagers, and—in the end—themselves. The award-winning zoologists and pioneering conservationists describe their work in the remote and ruggedly beautiful Luangwa Valley, in northeastern Zambia.

BACKBONE of AMERICA - Carlan Tapp Cover Art

BACKBONE of AMERICA

BACKBONE of AMERICA by Carlan Tapp

Backbone of America is an interactive photographic essay capturing the story of a unique motorcycle journey across historic US Highway 50 from the Harley-Davidson™ Factory in Missouri to California. Writing about HWY 50, Blue Highways, author, William Heat Moon, says “for the unhurried, this little-known highway is the best national road across the middle of the United States.”  The route offers a compelling cross section of our nation that Time magazine devoted nearly an entire issue in 1997 calling the story the “Backbone of America”.  HWY 50 passes through literally hundreds of time worn small towns, most still remaining untouched by box stores and fast food.  From Kansas, following the Arkansas River along the historic Santa Fe Trail, climbing over the Colorado Plateau, into the Great Basin, across the Loneliest Road in America, into California, the route shares vanishing Americana.  The essay contains photographs and interactive galleries of landscapes, historical locations, points of interest, and the colorful individuals who make up the character of the West.  Interactive highway maps provide the reader an opportunity to pin point locations along the route.  A daily journal documents the people, places, and thoughts of the road. Each chapter contains a list of motels and local cafes found to be authentic Americana experiences.  Backbone of America tells the story of the classic American road trip.   " The steel's barely cooled before Carlan Tapp steers a fresh Low Rider from the H-D factory in Kansas City onto Highway 50. From there, it's everything from Dodge City to Lake Tahoe as he captures a fading, rough 'n' tough America in stunning black and white."  HOG® Magazine

Edinburgh: A Traveller's Reader - David Daiches Cover Art

Edinburgh: A Traveller's Reader

Edinburgh: A Traveller's Reader by David Daiches

Edinburgh is a city whose history is written on its face. The Old Town on its crowded rock, sloping down from the Castle to Holyroodhouse, has not significantly changed its atmosphere since the turbulent fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, when riots, processions, or public executions jammed the High Street. And the very different era that followed the bloody religious wars of the seventeenth century is epitomized by the elegant streets and squares of the New Town - the eighteenth-century Enlightenment whose writers, philosophers and lawyers made Edinburgh famous. This anthology of extracts from letters, memoirs, diaries, novels and biographies of interesting visitors and inhabitants, including the writings of Scott, Boswell, Cockburn, John Knox and many others, recreates for today's visitors the drama, the history, and the life of the city in buildings and places that can still be visited. The daring Scottish recapture of the Castle from the English in 1313; the confrontation between Calvinist John Knox and Catholic Mary Queen of Scots in Holyroodhouse; an eye-witness account of the execution of Montrose at the Mercat Cross in 1650; reeking slop-pails in the wynds and polite manners in the ballrooms. . .

Thrilling Cities - Ian Fleming Cover Art

Thrilling Cities

Thrilling Cities Fourteen Cities Seen Through the Eyes of Ian Fleming, the Creator of James Bond by Ian Fleming

A CAPTIVATING JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD FROM THE CREATOR OF JAMES BOND Ian Fleming’s world travels and interests, as well as his journalism and wartime experiences, lent authority to everything he wrote. In 1959, the Sunday Times commissioned Fleming to write a series of dispatches from the world’s most beguiling locales. The result was Thrilling Cities, a masterpiece of well-observed travelogue that stands ably alongside the author’s Bond canon. From Hong Kong to Honolulu, New York to Naples, he left the bright main streets for the back alleys, abandoning tourist sites in favor of underground haunts, and mingling with celebrities, gangsters and geishas. The result is a series of vivid snapshots of a mysterious, vanished world from a twentieth century Western perspective. Just like his most famous fictional creation, Ian Fleming was a well-traveled man of the world who knew where to go to find excitement, adventure...and danger. In Thrilling Cities, he takes us along on a journey of international intrigue worthy of James Bond. Fleming’s legendary thriller-writer’s eye uncovers the hidden side of the world’s most exciting cities: A 1950s Travelogue: From the neon-lit streets of Tokyo and Hong Kong to the smoky casinos of Las Vegas and Monte Carlo, experience a world of glamour and grit that has since disappeared. Espionage and Smuggling: Uncover the secrets of gold traffickers in Macao, arms dealers in Beirut, and the tense, divided city of Cold War Berlin. The Shadier Side of Life: Leave the tourist traps behind as Fleming ventures into the back alleys and underground haunts to mingle with gangsters, geishas, and spies. The James Bond Touch: See the world through the eyes of 007’s creator, a man who knew precisely where to find excitement, adventure, and a hint of danger.

Australia Travel Guide - The Non Fiction Author Cover Art

Australia Travel Guide

Australia Travel Guide by The Non Fiction Author

Australia lingers long in every impression. From burning red desert to bustling metropolis, aboriginal lifestyles to surf culture, the land down under seems to serve up a feast of preconceptions. This vast island, cast adrift in the South Pacific, seems to ignite the imagination unlike anywhere else. Australia. Just picture it and it's impossible to focus on a single image; Sydney, Uluru, the Great Barrier Reef, the desert, the beach, everything in between. We'll let you into a little secret. All that dreaming, all that unadulterated reverie of Australia...it's pretty much exactly what Australia is like when you visit. Let's indulge a little on the country's appeal. Over 20,000 miles of virtually untouched coastline, a series of cities founded on ingenuity and intrigue, endemic wildlife skipping around all over... This is where you'll find the world's biggest monolith, it's longest reef, oldest rainforest, longest surviving culture, and a completely new definition of uninhabited wilderness. With Australia, there's never a debate about whether you want to go. It's hard to find a soul on the planet who isn't in-spired by the thought of this immense island nation. The question is more about how to transform Australia from fantasy to reality. First up are the practicalities. Just flying across the country takes five hours, nothing but scorched landscape beneath the wingtips. Even on the ever popular East Coast you can drive for hours without seeing anything but sugar plantations and the odd kangaroo. Second up is cost. Australia's transformation from rugged hinterland into sophisticated nation knows no boundaries, and the spiraling costs have many visitors surviving off boxed wine and jam sandwiches. Finally, there's the dilemma of finding time. Such a vast far flung destination deserves oodles of time. So what can realistically be squeezed into an itinerary if you don't have three months to spare? Consider the three questions and Australia can easily be left to rot in the annals of travel day-dreams. But as the Aussies would say, no worries. The locals' serene and easygoing attitude forms the paradigm for this guidebook. There's no need to completely overthink Australia. This is an indelibly easy country to travel in and this guidebook believes in giving you all the information and tools to turn a dream trip into reality. All the core practicalities are considered, helping you plan an itinerary regardless of how much time you have to spend. Costs are outlined, along with numerous ways to reduce them without reliving days of being a squalid student. This guidebook is about all the essential information you need to plan and realize a trip to Austral-ia. Because once you've got it planned the country will do the rest. So jump forward into a nation of superlatives, into a mesmerizing concoction of escapism and adventure. Some people say that Australia is a country for finding yourself. We prefer to think it's a country for getting lost, amidst the finest landscapes and experiences on the planet.

Harry's Bar

Harry's Bar The Life and Times of the Legendary Venice Landmark by Arrigo Cipriani

A meeting place for writers, artists, models, and the stars of stage, screen, and corporate boardrooms, a luxurious restaurant whose fabulous concoctions and timeless decor have often been imitated but never matched, Harry’s Bar in Venice has remained one of the world’s most renowned watering holes for more than sixty years.

New Zealand Travel Guide - The Non Fiction Author Cover Art

New Zealand Travel Guide

New Zealand Travel Guide by The Non Fiction Author

New Zealand revels in its role as nature's amphitheater, the country redefining notions of the sub-lime and the surreal. Every turn seems to unveil a new panorama, a new aesthetic seemingly lost in time. New Zealand is unspoiled and untamed. Its status as home of fictionalized Middle Earth is well publicized, but there's far more to the landscape than hobbit holes and orcas hiding in trees. There is bounty to be discovered everywhere and almost every visitor is won over with fresh impressions of natural splendor. With more sheep than people and more solitude than city, New Zealand is a place for getting lost in the midst of the planet's most spectacular landscapes. New Zealand essentially consists of a series of islands in the Pacific, each distinct and celebrating its difference. Two large islands dominate this definition. The volcanic North Island, full of rolling green pastures and kaleidoscopic color. And the mountainous South Island, home to glaciers, fjords, and dramatic geological features. While the land provides an omnipresent highlight, there's more to New Zealand than a journey through lakes, mountains, ocean, and forests dancing with phantasmal intrigue. The country runs on an indelibly laid-back rhythm, one that negates the use of a watch and helps you easily slip into the natural spell. You could travel a hundred miles without seeing another per-son and most settlements still retain the unpopulated charm of yesteryear. Such rurality inevitably supports a famed local friendliness. Everyone has time to say hello and greet a stranger and rushing around is a serious no. Stress, it seems, disappears the moment you land in the country. Even a journey that traverses the whole of New Zealand will be defined by serenity. This guidebook has a very New Zealand approach at heart. It likes to keep things simple and tranquil, preferring not to dampen the journey with layer after layer of purposeless information. This is a country that must be discovered. We would prefer to leave enough for you to discover when you arrive. At the same time, the helping hand of a local guide is essential for navigating the best the country has to offer. So think of this guidebook as the friendly locals you meet in New Zealand, full of tips and ideas but always leaving the final decision to you. In this guidebook we detail all the iconic and unmissable experience, as well as all the hidden and off the beaten track ideas that should be considered. This complete planning guide presents destinations from a visitor's perspective. Rather than use local administrative regions, the guidebook is split into key routes and regions that are easy to explore from a single base. Using this approach enables a clear overview of what's possible when you visit New Zealand, and which destinations are effortlessly combined in an itinerary. What this guidebook doesn't do, is fill two pages with hotels and restaurants with less than complimentary descriptions. If it's good and worth experiencing then it's in this guidebook. If it's not then it didn't make the cut. There's more than enough enchantment and quality to find in New Zealand, why dilute it with the mundane? So jump forward and jump in to a country that captures the imagination and stirs the intrepidness in every soul. Welcome to New Zealand and welcome to a country that always leaves a lasting impression.
