Travel Info

This is the ULTIMATE guide ALL of the world’s most questionable tourist locations: Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Bosnia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and North Korea to name just a few of the countries covered in these travel book review.
The travel writer and photographer is the people who loves going to such controversial locales (you can read about some of their adventures in Uzbekistan and Iran on this website). But outside of this duo, I haven’t run across a lot of folks who seek out these destinations for vacations. I’m sure a lot of people who view the chance to go practically anywhere as an opportunity. And also they want to travel to dangerous places for business, and special attention is paid to the business traveler, throughout the book.
But even if you’re not so adventurous and you don’t have overseas business interests, you can still benefit from this book. The practical advice and safety tips alone are well worth the price, even if you never intend to set foot in any of the dangerous locations involved. If you do any kind of travel, anywhere, you’ll no doubt learn something of use. The entire book also makes for fascinating armchair traveler reading. I couldn’t put it down.
A third of The World’s Most Dangerous Places focuses on travel statistics, tips, resources and advice that we can all put to practical use. Encyclopedic in scope, the general information covers:
