Bleisure: Adventures of International Business Travel - Paperback

by Eddy Guarascio (Author)

Most everyone dreams about visiting exciting and exotic locations. Eddy Guarascio was no exception. For a long time, travel was nothing more than a dream. When finally given an opportunity to travel through business, he was well-prepared to optimize his international travel experiences. Whenever possible, he would also plan and allocate time for fun sightseeing, exploration, and learning, a.k.a. "bleisure" (business and leisure) travel. The book's aim is solely to provide entertaining and educational anecdotes and insights into a sampling of his international business travel experiences. The book is cross-genre with short story elements of travel, business, history, religion, food, art, a bit of how-to, memoirs, and more. Really, it's both all of that and none of that! In the end, it's just a storybook, with countless entertaining "fun facts" and travel adventures, not intended as a travel guide. Readers will enjoy a short, firsthand, personal account of a few of the world's greatest locations, sites, and treasures offered from Guarascio's unique "bleisure" point of view. For Guarascio, it is a labor of love to share his joy and gratitude in everyday living and his business travels along the way.
