Written by veteran travel journalist, Patricia Schultz, 1,000 PLACES TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE is a valuable resource for globetrotters and armchair travelers. First published in 2003, the #1 New York Times bestseller has been recently updated and features 200 new entries, 28 additional countries, 200 more pages, and more than 600 full-color photographs.

The video below gives you a sneak peek into 1,000 PLACES TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE'S coverage of  the French Quarter in New Orleans- one of my favorite places.



I recently received a copy of 1,000 Places... and have had fun flipping through the pages and reading about places I've been, where I live, places I want to go, and places I've never even thought about visiting. More than just a list of destinations, 1,000 PLACES TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE also includes the restaurant scenes in Lyon and New Orleans, having beer in Belgium, and indulging in a Swedish smorgasbord as must-do's. Also included in the book are helpful tips on where to stay, the best times of the year to visit, and budget-conscious suggestions.
