World Travel: An Irreverent Guide by Anthony Bourdain

adventurous funny informative fast-paced

3.5

This book is a posthumous collection of communication between Bourdain and his assistant, Laurie Woolever. It's filled with Bourdain's trademark humor, wit, and candor. It's both a travel guide and personal reflection on his favorite destinations and culinary experiences.

I bought this book a while back. I enjoyed it and love Bourdain's humor. I found it interesting and it had me add some items to my travel bucket list. I don't know if this needed to be published though. I feel like you get more of Anthony Bourdain when you watch his show, No Reservations. I found the travel tips helpful but unnecessary when we have Google and search engines. I say this because the book was published in 2021 and much of the information could be obsolete or irrelevant.

This would be the perfect book for someone who's never traveled or traveled internationally because the insights and tips help train you on what to look for. This a perfect coffee table book. Something to pick up, pick a random page and enjoy.
