“Bourdain and series editor Jason Wilson have assembled a wide-ranging and wonderfully eclectic collection that delves headlong into the darker moments and subtle realizations, looking to absorb, provoke, and offer a moving record of what it means to travel in the twenty-first century.

I have read several editions of this and intend to read more... great if you aren't sure you want to read travel writing but want to try. Powerful stuff!”

“Honestly I picked this one up b/c Bourdain was the editor, so the series didn't make a mistake with that one! Some of the stories are fabulous, though, and all of them are worth reading. The laugh-out-loud story involves an American observing driver's education classes in China - totally and completely hilarious, and the author is working on a full book which I cannot WAIT to read. This is a great collection.”
