He knows where to go, where to eat, where to sleep, and where to shop. He knows how to buy, how much to pay, when to haggle, and when to tip. He knows what to do in an emergency and recognizes a scam when he sees one. He gets the best deals and the best experiences. This book was written with the savvy traveler in mind.
