In this moving, hilarious, and insightful memoir, Laurie Woolever traces her path from a small-town childhood to working at revered restaurants and food publications, alternately bolstered and overshadowed by two of the most powerful men in the business. But there’s more to the story than the two bold-faced names on her resume: Mario Batali and Anthony Bourdain.

When Anthony Bourdain died in June 2018, fans around the globe came together to celebrate the life of an inimitable man who had dedicated his life to traveling nearly everywhere (and eating nearly everything), shedding light on the lives and stories of others. His impact was outsized and his legacy has only grown since his death.

Anthony Bourdain saw more of the world than nearly anyone. His travels took him from the hidden pockets of his hometown of New York to a tribal longhouse in Borneo, from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, Paris, and Shanghai to Tanzania’s utter beauty and the stunning desert solitude of Oman’s Empty Quarter - and many places beyond. In World Travel, a life of experience is collected into an entertaining, practical, fun and frank travel guide that gives listeners an introduction to some of his favorite places - in his own words.

Anthony Bourdain conhecia o mundo como poucos. Suas viagens o levaram dos recônditos secretos de Nova York a casas comunais de tribos em Bornéu; da vida cosmopolita em Buenos Aires, Paris e Xangai aos cenários de beleza extraordinária da Tanzânia e de solidão deslumbrante do deserto de Rub’ al-Khali, no Omã. Em Volta ao mundo, esse vasto conjunto de experiências é apresentado em forma de um guia de viagens divertido, prático e objetivo, oferecendo um gostinho dos lugares selecionados pela memória afetiva de Bourdain.
