1,000 Places To See Before You Die

No! This is not an article about the 1,000 Places to see before you die. Neither this is about the tips for traveling spots. Yes! This is a book that a traveler, explorer, sojourner, chronicler must have and must read. Yes! This is a book about a traveler's life list. And Yes! This is a book which I highly recommend for all the people that loves to travel around the world.

1,000 PLACES TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE A Traveler's Life List by Patricia Schultz is what I am saying.

This book was actually recommended and introduced to me by Ms. Picardal (The Manager of Bohemian Express Travel and Tours Inc.) since she knew that I am in love with traveling details.

What I like about this book is that, it highlights the worlds most beautiful spots to visit, the world's wonders, when and where to stay, foods and cultures, travel safety and documents and so much more. 

"Around the world, continent by continent, here is the best the world has to offer: 1,000 places guaranteed to give  travelers the shivers. Sacred ruins, grand hotels, wildlife preserves, hilltop villages, snack shacks, castles, festivals, reefs, restaurants, cathedrals, hidden islands, opera houses, museums, and more. Each entry tells exactly why it's essential to visit. The come the nuts and bolts: addresses, websites, phone and fasx numbers, best times to visit. Stop dreaming and get going."

The book actually features 3 of the top beautiful destinations in the Philippines. "The Banaue Rice Terraces", "Taal Volcano in Tagaytay (A lake within a volcano within a lake within an island)", an Amanpulo in Pamalican Island (Garboesque Isolation on a Private Isle)". I guess the author forgot to include "Boracay Island", "CamSur (2010 Top Travel Destination in the Philippines)", "White Water Rafting in Cagayan de Oro (Water Rafting Capital of the Philippines)", "Puerto Princesa's Underground River (Nominee of the Philippines to the New 7 Wonders of Nature)", "Mt. Apo in Davao", "Siargao Island (Surfing Capital of the Philippines)"and so much more. Philippines actually offers many tourist destinations that travelers will surely love to visit again and again.
