The World's Best is a subjective set of bests culled from more than 200 seasoned travelers and expatriates around the world who are affiliated with International Living. It spans 76 countries across six continents...and is contained within 800 pages...barely! It isn't exactly the stuff of guidebooks...although it is chock-full of phone numbers, addresses, and directions to incredible places. It isn't exactly a history lesson...although you get snippets of stories behind the places that will make you laugh, and a few that will make you cry. It is more of a traveler's log, with notes to a dear friend in the margins. From the sites you shouldn't miss to the restaurants you might unless you know where to look for them. Even if you're a seasoned traveler, you're sure to discover more than a few places that weren't on your must-see list. Until now.
