How is it to be a tourist in Yemen, Turkmenistan, Nauru or Mauritania?

Globetrotter Gunnar Garfors has been to all the 198 countries of the world - twice. On his journeys he is driven by curiosity and has met people from many different cultures and societies. Garfors' mild and open disposition helps him to easily get in touch with locals wherever he is.

In Elsewhere he shares his experiences from the 20 countries people are least likely to travel to. The author skilfully blends his experiences in an easy and entertaining read. You will get close and personal with people, including a very open and cheerful prime minister, the world's best chocolate maker and a mango farmer from Yemen.

At a time characterized by conflict and war, Garfors wants to inspire us to get to know parts of the world that differ from ours, places that many are reluctant to travel to. A wider understanding of other cultures, faiths and worldviews may change how you perceive the world. Perhaps the globe we live on could become a better and more beautiful place if more of us challenged our comfort zones.

Elsewhere takes you to some of the most facinating places on earth. Enjoy from the safety of your chair or find inspiration to travel elsewhere yourself.
