“The 100 Best Worldwide Vacations to Enrich Your Life” ($19.95, National Geographic) features author Pam Grout’s roster of ideas for self-enhancing trips around the globe. The options run the gamut from the personally educationaljourneys that involve such groovy good times as learning how to tango in Argentina or test-driving a dream career in any number of locations — to voluntourism, such as humanitarian work in El Salvador or helping to fix kids’ teeth in Nepal. Each of the 100 entries contains an inspirational quote, narrative on the project and contact information, and short side pieces often are included with anecdotes about the area or other things to see and do while you’re there.
