After travelling to over seventy countries and living on five, the author distills the best undiscovered destinations and shares insider advice. Searching for Unique is meant for travellers seeking hidden sights that most people overlook or simply do not know exist.

Discover more than twenty-five places across five continents through bite-sized narratives that fit into your busy, pre-trip schedule. Trek through untouched valleys with more sheep than people in the blustery Faroe Islands. Feel the heat of an ancient Buddhist fire ceremony in the secluded Kingdom of Bhutan.

Explore six themes-wilderness treks, little-known hikes, ancient temples, rare festivals, fallen kingdoms and modern metropolises-to find unexpected wonders around our world. Taste the fiery sambal of Brunei's Gadong Night Market or dance alongside your favourite Malipenga team on Malawi's Likoma Island.

Where will your unique search take you?

Reviews for Searching for Unique: A Traveller's Guide to Extraordinary Experiences

"Certainly a keeper...Searching for Unique, O'Hare's second book is a sincere effort at creating a well-informed travel to remote, challenging places. The matter-of-fact narrative takes readers to heartwarming journey across exotic lands while exploring different social causes: affordable housing, cost of living, and children's education in developing countries among others. The Prairies Book Review Once again Nancy O'Hare transports you to destinations you may not even dream of. It is gratifying that these adventures invoking treks, festivals and fallen kingdoms to name a few are so thoughtfully recounted. To quote from a chapter in Rare Festivals: "" I felt like I had fallen into another world, a valley where arts, tradition and a little bit of modern technology blended together."" Nancy's unique stories will take you chapter by chapter through these communities and landscapes and will give you a different perspective to your interactions in your next travels. Searching for Unique was just that, a compilation that threads together Nancy's travels in a way that allows you to pick up any chapter and immerse yourself in her next adventure. Not only that, Nancy provides invaluable information at the end of each story in hopes that this may be a jumping off point in your own 'search for unique'.
