Hidden Travel: The Secret to Extraordinary Trips
Have you ever had a magic moment on a trip that so moved you, you knew you'd remember it forever? Hidden Travel shows you how to experience more such moments anywhere, even at home. While most travel guidebooks reveal sights that matter to others, Hidden Travel teaches you how to find what matters to you, on trips around the world or just around the corner.
It's about using travel to get enough distance from your ordinary life to realize just how extraordinary it is. In so doing, you’ll also discover more: more meaning, adventure, relationships, purpose, happiness, creativity, fulfillment, joy or whatever you want more of in your life.
Through stories, insights, research findings and exercises gleaned from 40 years of travel to over 50 countries, you'll learn how to:
Experience a different, more meaningful kind of travel many long for but few find.
Discover the best places to visit and how to find hidden wonder anywhere.
Turn your trip into a learning laboratory to try out new interests, personas and travel adventures that go beyond your wildest travel bucket list dreams.
Pursue unusual quests and ask unexpected questions to connect deeply with locals — even if you’re an introvert.
Grow your confidence and courage on a trip in safe, fun, and exciting ways whether you travel solo or with others.
Discover and savor the happiest part of your trip by connecting your creative passions with what you discover on your journey.
Turn the inevitable bad times on a trip into peak moments and lasting memories.
Develop new ways of seeing that involve all your senses.
Do a volunteer vacation in a way that helps rather than hurts.
Plan a trip more easily and pack better by leaving behind unhelpful baggage, both physical and emotional.
Experience and even create magic moments for you and others anywhere.
Discover a new way to think about time that will transform your trips.
End any trip well by practicing this one secret to wrapping up a trip memorably.
Apply your trip to your life so that each day at home feels more like an adventure.
Whether you're a beginning traveler or are into adventure travel, family travel, slow travel, sustainable travel or just wanting a better vacation or holiday, this different kind of travel book offers a refreshingly different way to approach travel and life. It’s an inspiring perspective that works for road trips near home, journeys to international destinations, or even when you can’t travel.
With short, easy-to-read sections and inspiring travel photography from Europe and Great Britain to China, North Africa to South America and throughout the US, this book makes the perfect gift for you or that special traveler in your life who desires both a better way to travel and a more adventurous way to live.

This book really made me think about life, not just travel, differently. I will definitely be working on creating more in my life, especially with my family.
I also really loved the photography, even if a few photos would’ve been better in color (but I understand why they weren’t).
I will definitely be recommending this book to many, many people.
