Destinations
Ten countries, and the places within them worth the journey. Each country guide covers the practical ground — when to go, what it costs, how to get around, where to sleep — then goes deeper: the cities, the sights, and the things worth slowing down for.
Some of these run deep. Japan alone has three city guides, thirty-six destinations, and everything from ramen to onsen etiquette. Others are just beginning. All are kept current, because out-of-date travel advice is worse than none.

Coast to coast, and the roads between.

Canada
The Rockies at Banff and Jasper, and the old French cities of the east. A country best measured in days, not miles.

Europe
Closer to home, if home is this side of the Atlantic.
