Secret Wonders: Surprising Visions for the Intrepid Adventurer

Award-winning photographer Peter Guttman presents wide-ranging travel inspiration with vivid images of hidden experiences and secret adventures

The magical secret sauce for a memorable, well-lived life is largely made up of what one DOES.

• D = Do: engaging adventures and experiences
• O = Observe: viewing spectacles and festivities
• E = Eat: indulging in flavors and cuisines
• S = Sleep: slumbering in dreamy hideaways and lodgings

Do, Observe, Eat, and Sleep provide the backbone for three-time Travel Journalist of the Year Peter Guttman’s photographic volume showcasing hundreds of travel ideas not found in conventional travel guidebooks, included in generic corporate packages, or featured in thousands of videos from travel influencers. Take in spectacles and settings that are hidden, remote, eccentric, or obscure, many rooted in hyperlocal traditions, artisanal practices, or artistic ideals. To ease travel planning, a directory catalogs each unique site, assisting those hoping to experience these newfound dream destinations for themselves.

Experience the wonder to be found in an awe-inspiring destination––a wonder that may spark further curiosity, exploration, and even personal transformation.
