Wanderlust: One Hundred Countries FROM THE PUBLISHER
At the age of twelve, author Michael Clinton could not have fathomed his futureᄑan immensely successful career trajectory as a magazine publishing executive. But at that
tender age, he did make a promise to himself: To satisfy a young, curious, optimistic, and ambitious desire to see the world and document its splendor by visiting one hundred countries during his lifetime.
His book, Wanderlust: 100 Countries is a document of what began as a larger-than-life dream for a small-town boy that has, over the years, gradually manifest itself in countless memories, experiences, plane tickets, journal entries and, most importantly, dazzling photographs of both the most visited and the most unknown places in the world. With the same daring enthusiasm and spot-on artistic precision that one would expect from a man intensely committed to transforming fantastical dreams into practical reality, the book features more than two hundred awe-inspiring photographsᄑfrom the immense snow- and ice-covered peaks of Antarctica to Namibiaᄑs towering ocher-colored sand dunesᄑdocumenting Clintonᄑs travels and illustrating the extraordinary world we live in, literally from top to bottom.
Clintonᄑs lens and deft touch has not only captured each locationᄑs individual mystery, beauty, and essence, but has also recounted the universal story, to which we can all relate, of a lifetime personal goal delineated and achieved.
