Gunnar Garfors er kjent for å ha reist verda rundt. På sine turar har han møtt menneske frå mange ulike kulturar og samfunn. Når Garfors er på reise, er det nysgjerrigheita som driv han. Hans vennlege og opne vesen gjer at han lett blir kjent med folk der han er.

I boka Ingenstad – på tur til verdas minst besøkte land tek han oss med til dei 20 landa i verda færrast av oss vel å reise til. Han har vevd opplevingane sine saman til ei lett og ledig bok. Vi blir med på ei personleg ferd og kjem tett på menneska forfattaren har møtt i land som Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Nauru, Mauritania og Komorane. Nokre av dei har du knapt høyrt om, andre gir neppe andre assosiasjonar enn krig, terror og elende. I Ingenstad møter du mellom anna ein særs imøtekomande statsminister, verdas beste sjokolademakar og ein mangobonde frå Jemen – landet som ein gong hadde fleire hundre tusen turistar i året.

I ei tid prega av konflikt og krig vil forfattaren inspirere oss til å bli kjent med delar av verda som skil seg frå vår eiga, men som mange knapt vågar å reise til. Kanskje vil ei breiare forståing av andre nasjonar, trusretningar og verdsoppfatningar gjere noko med deg som lesar og korleis du ser på verda. Kanskje ville vår klode kunne bli ein betre og vakrare stad om fleire reiste utanfor eigne komfortsoner.

Ingenstad tek deg med til nokre av dei mest fasinerande stadene i verda.

Å reise kan gi oss sterke inntrykk og fantastiske opplevelser, men for mange kan klimaavtrykket og de negative konsekvensene fra reisene våre også gi et snev av dårlig samvittighet.

Som enkeltmennesker er det å fly langt og ofte blant det aller verste vi gjør for klimaet. I en tid der isbreer smelter, havnivået stiger og ekstremværet blir stadig villere, kan vi ikke fortsette å reise på den måten vi gjør det i dag.

Innsiktsfullt og med stort engasjement forklarer Trygve Sunde Kolderup hvordan vi kan reise mer skånsomt og klimavennlig. Gjennom inspirerende eksempler viser han hva vi bør tenke på når vi planlegger våre neste turer - enten det er i jobb- eller feriesammenheng. Vi skal ikke slutte å reise, men vi må endre måten vi reiser på. For hvis vi reiser bedre, er det mulig å få store opplevelser med mindre avtrykk.

Dive deep into an exciting new destination and discover the best little-known sights and things to do, plus the coolest places to eat, drink and shop to create unforgettable trips. For each of the 50 cities profiled in Secret City, we've swung the spotlight onto neighbourhoods where you can feel the rhythms of local life.

Sometimes you'll find the city's most well-trodden streets are only a short distance away, but there's a well-concealed treasure: perhaps a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cafe in Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana, a historic jazz bar in Stockholm's Gamla Stan, or an unmissable brunch spot in Brunswick, Melbourne. Elsewhere, you'll discover neighbourhoods you might not know much about but should really consider staying in: Tokyo's grungy Koenji, barnacle-clung Wapping and Rotherhithe in London, and Staten Island's North Shore in New York City. For each neighbourhood, there are out-of-the-ordinary recommendations for eating, drinking, partying and where to delve into local culture.

All of them are hand-picked by experts who know these cities inside out, and they're accompanied by maps to orient you in these exciting districts.
