His simple question to these people: What is your favorite travel discovery? The answers are both surprising and engaging-ranging from Bali Indonesia to a well-used bench at San Francisco's Crissy Field, from the Hopi Mesas in Arizona to the Old City of Jerusalem. In page after page, celebrated contributors describe the special appeal of each place-be it the amazing beauty, or the character of the people, or simply the hushed joy of solitude.To enhance the stories further, Dunn scoured the files of National Geographic to create sidebars full of intriguing information about each place-and even steers you to websites that tell how you can visit them yourself.
