Diana M. Hechler

Do you want to find amazing and unique experiences around the world? “Strolling with Your Elephant: Perfect Moments in Travel” tells travelers of all ages and abilities how to find and enjoy them. Drawing on twenty-three years as President of D. Tours Travel, a boutique luxury travel agency, Diana Hechler outlines almost eighty experiences that are fun, unusual and thrilling, and that many people do not know are available for everyone.

Perfect moments range from waltzing at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna to standing in the sky atop the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Petting a sleeping rhino in South Africa? Renting a Lockmaster’s cottage along the C&O canal just a few miles from Georgetown in Washington, DC? The sky’s the limit. With almost eighty authentic experiences in numerous countries to choose from, all travelers can take advantage of this compact guidebook to enhance their adventures.

As Jamie Biesiada of Travel Weekly puts it, “Diana Hechler paints a vibrant picture of those one-of-a-kind experiences that never quite leave the traveler’s mind — especially those you may never have known existed. She weaves a tapestry of sights, sounds, and experiences that will make anyone want to get up and go.” Barbara Peterson, President of New York Travel Writers’ Association writes, “Strolling with Your Elephant is the ideal travel companion, taking you off the beaten path and on to some truly unique experiences, from Roman chariot racing in Jordan to a tea ceremony at a private museum in Japan. Well-written, and full of insider tips — who knew you can witness a reenactment of Julius Caesar's assassination in the very place it happened? — this book will lead you to those moments that are, after all, why we travel in the first place.”
