For everyone who dreams about extraordinary travel experiences but wonders how to find and enjoy them, the answers can now be found in “Strolling with Your Elephant: Perfect Moments in Travel”.  This consumer guidebook offers a collection of almost 80 experiences for all ages and interests at all price points.  Drawing on many years of experience as a travel advisor, Diana Hechler shares these unique experiences ranging from fun to unusual to thrilling adventures that many people do not know are available for everyone.

The increasing attention on having authentic experiences as people explore the world dovetails perfectly with the book’s focus on sharing how and where to find activities that go beyond the basics.  Perfect moments range from waltzing at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna to standing in the sky atop the Sydney Harbour Bridge.  Petting a sleeping rhino in South Africa?  Renting a Lockmaster’s cottage along the C&O canal just a few miles from Georgetown in Washington, DC?  The sky’s the limit. All travelers can take advantage of this compact guidebook to enhance their adventures.

As Jamie Biesiada, Senior Editor of Travel Weekly puts it, “Diana Hechler paints a vibrant picture of those one-of-a-kind experiences that never quite leave the traveler’s mind — especially those you may never have known existed. She weaves a tapestry of sights, sounds, and experiences that will make anyone want to get up and go.”

Barbara Peterson, President of New York Travel Writers’ Association writes, “Strolling with Your Elephant is the ideal travel companion, taking you off the beaten path and on to some truly unique experiences, from Roman chariot racing in Jordan to a tea ceremony at a private museum in Japan. Well-written, and full of insider tips — who knew you could witness a reenactment of Julius Caesar’s assassination in the very place it happened? — this book will lead you to those moments that are, after all, why we travel in the first place.”
