Author(s): Lonely Planet

Guides and Maps

The second edition of You Only Live Once inspires readers to seize the day and make the most of their opportunities to discover the world. Whether they have a spare hour, day, week, month or year, this is a manual to a life well lived. It uncovers hundreds of ideas for trips and experiences that will illuminate life and inspire personal growth.  Presented in a modern and visually inspiring hardback format, the book features stunning illustrations, maps, infographics and empowering quotes that convey how a lifetime of travel can help readers grow and discover this planet for themselves. What all the ideas contained within have in common is that they’re starting points. They will reignite long-forgotten desires - to learn to play blues guitar in Memphis - or spark new and unexpected ambitions: why shouldn’t you move to Provence for a year? 'You only live once; but if you do it right, once is enough.’ - Mae West
