Craving for Travel: Luxury Experiences for the Sophisticated Traveler
“Craving for Travel” isn’t simply a travel book or brochure; it’s also a peek into some of the places that most people don’t even know exist. Jim Strong, president of Strong Travel, has been traveling extensively for the last few years looking for new and exciting destinations, with one common theme in mind — luxury!
Strong Travel specializes in luxury travel experiences for exclusive, high-end clients, from a suite with the Eiffel Tower as backdrop and a 360-degree Paris view, to a beachfront mansion that easily entertains 20 friends, to an adventurous safari where travelers in an open-air Land Rover idle a scant 15 feet from a pride of lions.
When travelers request a trip planned by Strong Travel, they get more than just special handling. Jim and his team take travel arrangement to a new level because of their vast, hands-on experience and personal network of contacts in all corners of the world.
“Craving for Travel” is an introduction to the places Jim Strong’s clients call Nirvana—some of the most distinctive and resplendent locales in the world; hallmarks of discovery, enlightenment, leisure or luxury, each in their own right.
“Extraordinary experiences last a lifetime,” Jim says, “so they deserve the same planning as any other significant life event. Travel is a very important part of the luxury lifestyle, and Strong Travel clients know we are experts at tailoring global adventures to suit their individually refined tastes and preferences.”

Review by G. Biasetti for Craving for Travel: Luxury Experiences for the Sophisticated Traveler
Rating:
I bought Craving for Travel as a gift for a good friend of mine who is extremely passionate about international travel. I asked her if I could borrow the text for a few days as a consequence of her continuous rave about the extraordinary properties and the amazing pictures featured in it. I must admit that Jim Strong did a fantastic job presenting luxury destinations around the world in a non-traditional fashion. Through his book, in fact, you will discover that luxury can be found not only in a private villa on Lizard Island, but also in a custom-crafted leather seat in Singapore Airlines’ first class; not just in an “eight-century old castle in the heart of the Beaujolais vineyards”, but also heli-hiking “high-destination altitudes that can only be accessed by helicopter”. I had to return the book, but I am anxious to plan my next vacation!
