To help inspire us to plan that next trip, we’re also joined by Helen Fanthorpe to chat about her latest project, the Rough Guide to the 100 Best Places on Earth. As Helen says,
“We pooled the knowledge of our many experienced and well-travelled authors and editors and together we decided on the spots the world over that are undiscovered, underrated, or simply spectacular. We’ve made sure there is a geographical mix, as well as a mixture of (justly) famous places and more off-the-beaten-track spots. We’ve also made sure to celebrate all types of travel by including a mix of type of attractions: urban and rural, atmospheric ruins and glittering cityscapes, biodiversity hotspots, cultural gems, and arresting architecture. We hope this list inspires people to get out there and see what the world has to offer.”
Helen Fanthorpe is a Senior Travel Editor at Rough Guides and Insight Guides, focusing on custom publishing. She loves traveling the world and has already ticked off 27 of the 100 Best Places on Earth 2020. Next on her own bucket list is Stone Town in Zanzibar.
