Feature
★Sixty-five articles escort readers through both time – pieces from every decade help illustrate how travel has changed since 1960 – and space, with every continent given prominent billing.
Description
Immerse yourself in an impossible-to-forget 1970s summer in Yugoslavia
Take a ride through Indochina along a jungle-lined railway track laid during French rule
Discover whether shouting ‘Mouse! Mouse!’ scares off a Uganda elephant
Cycle from one end of the Outer Hebrides to the other, without needing a bike lock
Knock back vodka shots with beekeepers along Armenia’s Transcaucasian Trail, where Europe greets Asia
Spend a night in a hotel made of salt in Bolivia
Gawp at a rodeo in a Louisiana prison
Cruise through the Svalbard archipelago on a traditional sailing ship
Or visit the world’s smallest republic, hidden deep in the Nevada desert.
Along the way, whether in familiar locations or along the road less frequently journeyed, meet fortune-tellers, Azerbaijani fire-worshippers, baboon hunters, Paddington Bear’s less amenable relatives and passionate expedition naturalists – but also grumpy long-distance walkers and a parasite named Barry.
Alongside its travel stories, the book also showcases three dozen mesmerising experiences. Enjoy an all-female lesson on propelling and steering a gondola in Venice, a mask-making class in Sri Lanka or a nighttime visit up a Swedish mountain to watch the northern lights.
Around the World in 65 Years is more than just words too. The British Guild of Travel Writers’ celebrated professional photographers also bring far-flung places alive through images.
This remarkable BGTW travel anthology, packed with insight and colour, vibrancy and risk-taking, is a must-buy book for both armchair travellers and for those seeking inspiration for their next journey.
