A guide to some of the world's most fascinating places, as seen and experienced by writer, television host, and relentlessly curious traveler Anthony Bourdain

Anthony Bourdain saw more of the world than nearly anyone. His travels took him from the hidden pockets of his hometown of New York to a tribal longhouse in Borneo, from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, Paris, and Shanghai to Tanzania's utter beauty and the stunning desert solitude of Oman's Empty Quarter—and many places beyond.


In World Travel, a life of experience is collected into an entertaining, practical, fun and frank travel guide that gives readers an introduction to some of his favorite places—in his own words. Featuring essential advice on how to get there, what to eat, where to stay and, in some cases, what to avoid, World Travel provides essential context that will help readers further appreciate the reasons why Bourdain found a place enchanting and memorable.

Supplementing Bourdain's words are a handful of essays by friends, colleagues, and family that tell even deeper stories about a place, including sardonic accounts of traveling with Bourdain by his brother, Christopher; a guide to Chicago's best cheap eats by legendary music producer Steve Albini, and more. Additionally, each chapter includes illustrations by Wesley Allsbrook.

For veteran travelers, armchair enthusiasts, and those in between, World Travel offers a chance to experience the world like Anthony Bourdain.

This review says it all:

"Tony would have hated this cynical cash grab.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 15, 2021
This is a shameless piece of crap that everything we know about Tony would have us believe he would hate. I loved the man. I loved him in a way that doubtless we would both find very uncomfortable had we ever met. When I saw this book was coming I was excited that it would be a collection of his travel writing, script copy from the shows or his last prose before his death. It is however total bull@#it. Quotes taken from his TV shows about various locations along with copy and pastes from the lonely planet. A nice piece by his brother but otherwise utterly devoid of content. To be fair, the author makes clear in the intro that the book is based on a 1 hour conversation they had about the possibility of writing a travel guide. But this? From someone who knew the man well and worked with him for years, this is insulting. It's worse than Gone Bamboo! Laurie Woolever should be marched through the streets and pelted with rancid foie gras for what has been done to the memory of an (albeit deeply flawed) anti-hero of the highest regard. Save your money and buy something nice from the deli instead. Eat it in the great man's name. "
