"Travel enthusiasts celebrate nine of the most wonderful destinations in the world with three colorful and stunning iPad apps: Around the World in 18 Days, 48 Hours in Cairo and 48 Hours in Hong Kong. Experience Hong Kong, Singapore, Cairo, Istanbul, Venice, Zurich, Bruges, London and Paris through the lens of travel photographer and author Andy Davies.
Davies began his journey from his home in Portland, Oregon and traveled to nine countries, toured nine cities, stayed in nine hotels and rode in five trains on his incredible around the world adventure.
Users maneuver their way through hundreds of photos, numerous maps and a host of travel and photography tips by tapping the forward/backward buttons or swiping up and down on each screen. Jump instantly from place to place by selecting a destination in the table of contents and experience the HDR image galleries and video clips.
I love to travel and look forward to experiencing different cultures when I'm outside the US. These apps were designed to feature the experiences of Davies journey and not act as comprehensive travel guides. The photographs highlight popular tourist sites, as well as the day-to-day life of the people who live there. I enjoyed viewing the wonderful pictures the apps had to offer and liked the fact that different pictures were displayed depending on the direction I was holding my iPad. With pictures optimized for both the horizontal and vertical orientations, it was like having two great books in one.
If you love to travel and experience cultures from around the world, you'll find the photos and information in these apps to be intriguing. You can download Around the World in 18 Days from the App Store for $2.99 for a limited time or pick up 48 Hours in Cairo and 48 Hours in Hong Kong for $0.99 each. Maybe you'll discover your next summer travel destination!"

"I feel like in the short time he was in each place, he was able to take a glimpse into the souls of the people and the cultures. Maybe it's from being so acutely aware of the shots he wanted to take, watching so closely. I'm not sure, but it works. The book/app works too. I especially like the clean maps and the references to how much he spent on transportation, where he went, and how he got there.
…his photos are amazing and that's why when I reached the back I was stoked to find that Andy had included Travel Photography Tips. I'm a pretty decent amateur photographer, but I always want to be better. Andy's tips gave me some tools to do that with. Simple things that I hadn't thought of. I would share them, but in fact, I think the Travel Photography Tips alone make Andy's book worth more than the price.
In short, I highly recommend Andy's iPad App/eBook to anyone. The price is right, the content is incredible, and whether you are traveling or just dreaming of travel Around the World in 18 Days will inspire you."

"By combining an energetic and lively writing style with amazing photographs, Davies manages to draw the reader into each city's labyrinth to such a degree that you literally feel that you are there. With the tap of the finger, you move from city to city, image to image, and with the inline video clips from the sounds of fish markets to prayer calls to the bells of Big Ben.
Davies has added in maps, travel tips, and an comprehensive guide to taking better travel photographs, making this 100 page interactive travel book a must read for all dedicated armchair travelers."

"This must-have travel book offers an inside track on things to do…"
"Not only does it provide tips for each destination, but it also offers advice on everything from how to best use a camera in creating lasting memories to doing research before setting off on any travel destination. Indeed, for all travel enthusiasts, AROUND THE WORLD IN 18 DAYS is a must read and a don't-leave-home-without-it treasure."
"As I pen this I'm 39,000 feet above the ground, somewhere between my home in Dallas, Texas and my end destination, New York, New York. Technological advancements, such as in-flight WiFi, are splendid. That said, traveling isn't always feasible, and if it is, one may be restricted by budget, where their company sends them, or a variety of other factors.
For those with an iPad, traveling is splendid. Reading books, playing games, watching movies, and much more, is at one's fingertips. Not traveling, but have an iPad? No worries, that too is splendid thanks to a new app, Around the World in 18 Days ($2.99), which allows one to travel the world from anywhere, using an iPad.
Andy Davies, beginning in Portland, Oregon, traveled to Hong Kong, Singapore, Cairo, Istanbul, Venice, Zurich, Bruges, London, and Paris. Out of this trip, Davies' first trip around the world, came Around the World in 18 Days, a visually stunning and feature-rich travel book for the iPad."
