These countries include Costa Rica, India, Morocco, Greece, Canada, Brazil, France, Botswana, China, Philippines, Australia, United States, and Jordan. With this flexible fare that offers outstanding value for money you can visit 98% of the world’s countries.

The book gives plenty of information about each country such as the environment, weather, animals, and even includes some words from the language spoken there.
