"Here Not There: 100 Unexpected Travel Destinations" - Great Places to Visit with Fewer Tourists!

Learn about amazing places to visit with fewer tourists! Andrew Nelson joins me to talk about "Here Not There: 100 Unexpected Travel Destinations" from National Geographic on this edition of "Some Books Considered." Andrew Nelson offers advice for alternate destinations where you will find wonderful experiences with fewer tourists.

Examples of alternate destinations include going to Quito, Ecuador, instead of Lima, Peru, for iconic architecture and top-notch South American cuisine; taking a road trip along West Virginia’s byways instead of New England’s highways for brilliant autumn colors; planning a romantic visit to Lecce, Italy, instead of mega-touristed Florence for art, wine, and artifacts; or hiking in Chile’s Lake District instead of England’s for an unexpected natural wonder. Explore the Midwest and enjoy Cleveland, Ohio which offers theater performances that match the levels of New York City’s Broadway, or explore Indianapolis instead of Amsterdam, for canals, bike riding, and a world-class children's museum.

Andrew Nelson is an award-winning writer and editor for National Geographic “Traveler.” He has roamed all 50 states as well as numerous countries for the magazine and website.
