"After years as a media executive, Nicos Hadjicostis abandoned the business world and set his sights on a larger and more fulfilling goal: to explore our planet as if it were one huge country, a single destination. Starting from New York and traveling west for six-and-a-half years, the author visited six continents and seventy countries delving deep into their peoples, cultures and natural wonders. Destination Earth is the result of this life-transforming journey ... Enriched with travel incidents and some of the author's best travel photos, Destination Earth sheds light on both travel and life. Ideas and experiences are interwoven into a newly created philosophy of travel that is practical and easy to read."--Page 4 of cover.
