Rediscovering Travel

A Guide for the Globally Curious

By captivating millions during his six-year, 50-country tenure as The New York Times' "Frugal Traveler", Seth Kugel has become one of our most internationally beloved travel writers. While his famously unassuming journeys around the globe have forged a signature philosophy of whimsy and practicality, they have also revealed the seemingly infinite booby traps of on-the-grid tourism. In a book with widespread cultural reverberations, Kugel takes the modern travel industry to task, determined to reignite humanity's age-old sense of adventure that has virtually been vanquished by the spontaneity - obliterating likes of Google Maps, TripAdvisor, and Starwood points.

Woven throughout with vivid tales of his perfectly imperfect adventures, Rediscovering Travel explains - often hilariously - how to make the most of new digital technologies without being shackled to them. For the tight-belted tourist and the first-class flyer, the eager student and the comfort-seeking retiree, Kugel reveals how we too can rediscover the joy of discovery.

Wanderlust Must Read

I have loved reading this book. I love his unconventional approach to traveling the world and experiencing different people and cultures. I I appreciate the step away from social media and glamor approach to traveling and more this approach of wandering as you travel and embrace the little uncomfortable moments of travel and seeing the value of those experiences.
