DescriptionAll of us have a secret dream: the ideal journey we have wanted to take all our lives, a magical place we have dreamt of visiting sooner or later: a sort of little made-to-measure earthly paradise, far from home where nobody knows us. Travelling, especially with today's tourist industry, is in general seen as the search for somewhere that is different, an elsewhere, whether real or imaginary. It represents a chance to interact with other worlds and cultures, but often, in a sense, it is also an opportunity to encounter places that have been seen over and over through the images that the media increasingly offers to us, a sort of rediscovery of something we already know or with which we have a degree of familiarity. Whatever we mean by it, travelling is more than anything a way to escape everyday reality for distant and unknown lands. Thanks to the richly evocative text by an experienced travel writer and the spectacular images in its large photos, this book offers the reader the possibility of imagining, and finally planning, their perfect vacation, different from any other, prepared especially for them. Or - why not? - their honeymoon.
