Overview
Imagine your job was to travel the world, then report back on how everyone else should do it. That’s what happened to Daniel Houghton when, fresh out of Western Kentucky University at twenty-four, he took the helm of legendary travel publisher Lonely Planet. Suddenly, he was not only jetting off to parts unknown, but closing business deals in foreign languages and scrambling to learn fifty different sets of table manners. But, luckily, he had the world as his classroom.
Daniel had always loved to travel, but after Lonely Planet it morphed into a mission—to spread the word about travel’s unique power to change hearts and minds. In Wherever You Go, he shares how constant travel opened his eyes to a greater diversity of perspectives than he ever could have imagined. He speaks for, and to, a new generation, who wants more out of travel than just a list of experiences. He speaks to those who use it to develop empathy and cultural awareness, whether flying across the world or simply heading to a different neighborhood for dinner.
Daniel shares his own tips, as well as drawing on interviews with travel legends like Richard Branson, pros like Delta’s longest-serving flight attendant ever, and everyday folks with interesting stories. You’ll meet Kevan Chandler, a young man in a wheelchair who realized his dream of seeing Europe thanks to six friends who carried him around in a homemade backpack; Captain Lee Rosback of Bravo’s Below Deck, who guides his young crew to all ends of the earth; and Laura Dekkar, the youngest person ever to sail single-handedly around the world. They share everything—from their favorite places and their worst misadventures to the environmental and economical impacts of travel. And everyone attests to how their cross-cultural experiences have shaped their worldviews, their politics, their relationships, and even their careers.
Whether you’re a seasoned globetrotter or applying for your first passport, let Wherever You Go inspire you to roam beyond your comfort zone and experience all the world has to offer.
