For an ambitious traveller, the earth really is your oyster today. Practically no part of the globe is left untouched but travellers in need of action and something new. I actually heard of an individual from New Zealand who had journeyed to Iraq on the grounds that he didn’t accept it was as unsafe as the media was reporting. Luckily for him, he was plucked to safety by a British Army patrol.

Of course, you do not need to fly to countries much like Iraq for adventure travel, there are lots of various more secure places in the earth. Still, it is really tough to figure out where to visit when arranging travel so owning a guide like the Globe Trekker Year Book is a very helpful reference book to have. 

The guide is lightweight and light which means if you choose to take it away with you, its not going to take up much room or luggage allowance. Globe Trekker is definitely a resource of advice you can put your trust in as since the 1990s, they have been travelling around the earth creating TV footage of all sorts of places, traditions and festivals.

The Globe Trekker Year Book is very well laid out for the traveller in search of ideas. It details events from all across the planet by month so if you are looking to visit somewhere in July, you can simply flick to that segment and see what is happening. The guide doesn’t detail events in too much depth yet its a starting position for you to research your trip. For instance, among the events for July is the Roswell UFO Festival in New Mexico, USA. Hence if aliens are your thing, you know where to go in July. There are even a few useful resource internet sites to help you embark on your background work. The sections also have a relatively easy recipe of a dish from one of the locations referred to so you can get into your kitchen and get a sample of your desired destination just before you leave home.At the back of the publication is also a directory of TV stations and social media websites such as Facebook and YouTube where you can have access to Globe Trekker TV.

Consequently, if you are planning a holiday in 2010 and are looking for a little bit of inspiration, the Globe Trekker Year Book is a great point to start with suggestions from the Notting Hill Carnival in London, the Oktoberfest in Munich, a motorbike roadtrip in Vietnam and way more.
