Loved how this book went into the history and culture of the places, not just the hot destinations. Made me excited to travel there, and I don’t think I’ll rush back! I think this book served well as a preplanner. I checked it out of the library, so I am not taking it with me which I think suits it fine. Not a lot of ‘in the moment’ help on language, etc. There is an option to download by chapter for the e-book which I might do.

Enjoyed the local histories as well. Since I am going to a part of the country that has had some conflict, I was relieved to see the city I will be in noted as safe! And its by some awesome stuff… Can’t wait to go!
