Let's Travel

By Mr Herman Alec De Jager

What if ten journeys could change everything you thought you knew about the world?

In Let's Travel, travel writer HA De Jager takes you on an unforgettable journey to ten of the most extraordinary destinations on Earth - not as a tourist, but as a true traveller. This is not a book of checklists and opening hours. It is an invitation to see differently, feel deeply, and return home changed.

From the mist-wrapped terraces of Machu Picchu to the neon-lit labyrinth of Tokyo at midnight; from the volcanic caldera of Santorini glowing at sunset to the vast, wind-scoured wilderness of Patagonia where the world ends and the ice begins - each chapter draws you into the living heart of a destination, revealing the stories, flavours, rituals, and hidden corners that most visitors never find.

Inside, you will discover:

Paris, France - The city that argues, through sheer beauty, that aesthetics are a form of truth. Find the Paris that exists in the pauses between monuments.

Tokyo, Japan - Where ancient ritual and electric modernity feed each other. A city of extraordinary generosity to those willing to get lost.

Machu Picchu, Peru - The Lost City of the Inca, hidden in cloud forest for four centuries. Standing here, your own civilisation finds its proper perspective.

Santorini, Greece - A paradise born from catastrophe. Beneath the whitewashed glamour lies a Bronze Age ghost town, a volcanic sea, and wines unlike anything else on Earth.

New York City, USA - The island that makes you feel simultaneously invisible and completely, ferociously alive. Every neighbourhood a different city within the city.

Bali, Indonesia - The Island of the Gods, where spirituality is not performed but lived. Morning offerings, rice terraces, and an afternoon that will reset your sense of time.

Maasai Mara, Kenya - The stage for the greatest wildlife drama on Earth. The Great Migration. The silence of a savannah dawn. The world as it was before us.

Marrakech, Morocco - A medieval labyrinth of souks, spice merchants, and riads where the central square transforms nightly into organised, magnificent chaos.

Sydney, Australia - A harbour city of dazzling light, world-class food, and coastal walks above the Pacific that make you quietly reconsider every life decision you have ever made.

Patagonia, Argentina and Chile - At the bottom of the world, where granite towers pierce the sky and glaciers calve into green lakes. A place that reminds you, in the best possible way, how small you are.

Woven throughout are personal anecdotes, cultural insights, honest assessments, and insider knowledge that only comes from years of travelling slowly and paying close attention - where to eat, when to go, what to skip, and how to arrive as an observer rather than a spectator.

Let's Travel is for the curious. For the restless. For anyone who has stared at a map and felt the world pulling.

Pack light. Stay curious. The world is extraordinary - and it is waiting.
