Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

For over a decade, renowned travel journalist, bestselling author, and TV host Robin Esrock scoured the globe in search of one-of-a-kind, bucket list–worthy experiences. During his remarkable journey to over 100 countries on seven continents, Esrock uncovered unique adventures, fascinating history, cultural spectacles, natural wonders, hilarious situations and unforgettable characters—proving that modern travel is so much more than just over-trafficked tourist attractions. From the Amazon jungle to the beaches of Zanzibar, The Great Global Bucket List presents a world we don’t hear much about in the news. A world that is strikingly beautiful, thought-provoking, incredibly diverse and sometimes, just very, very funny. With his trademark wit, photography and insight, Esrock introduces the inspiring experiences you’ll be talking and dreaming about for many years to come.

Each chapter unlocks an online companion site with practical information, videos, photo galleries, polls, forums, reading suggestions, a bonus blog and more.

The world has never seemed so fun, inviting and inspirational. For a trail-blazing book rooted in things to do before you die, The Great Global Bucket List is packed with experiences that make life worth living.

Revue de presse :

Esrock writes in an amusing, cheerful style, low on stuffy adjectives and high on action. (Publishers Weekly)

Robin Esrock (hitherto known as the Evel Knievel of travel)...knows what he’s writing about. (Canadian Living Magazine)

One crucial thing sets Robin Esrock’s book apart: it’s full of accounts written by someone who’s actually explored these places. As the saying goes, the longest journey begins with a single step. Esrock’s book just might inspire you to take it. (The Georgia Straight)

“Robin Esrock doesn’t write like he works in the tourism industry; he tells it like it is.” (5-Star Review by Reader Writer Runner (Top 50 Amazon Reviewer))

The Great Canadian Bucket List is what the giant sequoia is to trees and what Zdeno Ch�ra is to the NHL...a big game changer. This weighty tome will be a definitive guide to any Canuck looking to experience great travel and adventure within the confines of our enormous country.
