Wish You Weren't Here

This gift book is the guilt-free travel guide for the person who has been everywhere (or needs an excuse to stay on the couch), featuring a collection of 50 destinations from around the world that you can’t actually visit

Prolific traveler and guidebook author Trent Holden has compiled a selection of big and small experiences that you can only read about, handily compiled in one book

From legal no-go zones like the Andaman Islands and Fort Knox, to sites of mystery like the Bermuda Triangle, Area 51 and Russia’s Metro 2, to places of human destruction, like Lake Karachay, Chernobyl and the Lascaux Caves, or ones where the danger is in the name, like Snake Island and Death Road

Each entry is filled with fascinating facts, historical context and illustrations to highlight some lesser-known and unreachable parts of the world
