Sense there's more to travel than meets the eye?
A Travel Guide to Connection is your passport to the hidden layers and human stories in every destination – including your own home. Social anthropologist Dr. Jonathan Newman shares twelve key pathways to connect with others and gain a deeper understanding of different points of view.
Why do tourists visit ancient cities?
Are military arms fairs better holiday destinations?
What is the relationship between a traveller and their luggage?
Can dogs teach humans to smell the world?
Who drinks in ‘bad’ pubs?
This unique guidebook suggests hundreds of locations rarely revealed by traditional travel books and offers over two hundred insightful questions to transform your conversations. Each chapter provides practical steps to turn your next trip into an adventure of profound discovery. Embrace a form of travel that transforms your understanding of the world and your place within it.
For life’s explorers, this is the perfect ticket.
“Newman’s brilliant book is a fun, engaging invitation to see the world afresh. With clarity and wit, it shows how an anthropological sensibility – meeting difference with curiosity rather than judgment – is exactly what we need in a time of disconnection and division.”
– Gwen Burnyeat, University of Edinburgh
“This exceptional book fundamentally shifts how we experience the ordinary. It takes us on a journey of connection with what we thought we knew. This changes everything. Few books so powerfully transform how we perceive the world around us. It is a must read.”
– Steffi Bednarek, Centre for Climate Psychology
