By Scott & Tarantino


Which would you rather have,
dreams or m
emories?

Not since the classic 1,000 Places to See Before You Die has there been such a call to adventure. Whether you’re an armchair traveler, an occasional tourist, a seasoned globe-trotter, a daring adventurer, or an intrepid explorer, there’s something for you in Looking for Legends.

Part travelogue, part history, and part good old-fashioned action story, Looking for Legends provides witty commentary as Scott and Tarantino recreate the magic and excitement of adventure.


These married travelers spanned the globe for 25 years and discovered that travel is more than anticipating and planning the journey, reaching the destination, or seeing the sights. It’s about meeting people along the way. Within these pages are the incredible individuals they found—the towering legends who lived life out loud.

Complete with original, hand-drawn maps by Erin Greb and more than 150 images, Looking for Legends delivers you to destinations that exceed your wildest dreams.
