Heaven on Earth In Search of the Next Travel Nirvana

In search of the next travel nirvana. If HOTEL HEAVEN'S quest was to find the true essence of a luxury hotel, then HEAVEN ON EARTH is designed to find the true essence of a destination and why it is hip and happening. Nothing, not even terrorism and plague, can stop our obsession with travel. After more than 15 years on planes, trains and automobiles, Matt Brace has carefully selected the hippest and hottest destinations - places that he believes will become 'to die for' spots in coming years, for a variety of reasons. Some of these destinations are exciting and emerging as new travel hot-spots due possibly to the changing of a political ideology (like the end of communism) or new economic prosperity, or after opening their borders and embracing tourism after years of isolation. Others are just simply getting cool because the travel herd moves and is finding new patches of grass to graze upon. As with HOTEL HEAVEN, HEAVEN ON EARTH will delve deep into the soul and character of each destination and reveal the true beating heart. How does it present itself, what does it look, taste, smell and feel like; how is it unique, who lives there, who travels there, how does it celebrate life and let its hair down, and what makes it tick? It's about getting to the underbelly of a place and discovering its pulse, its lifeblood. It's about living and breathing the place intensely and drinking in the atmosphere.
