Meet the author

As Anthony Bourdain’s longtime assistant and collaborator, Laurie Woolever was the one person he trusted to co-author his final book, World Travel. For nearly a decade, she was an integral part of Bourdain's world, working behind the scenes and gaining a unique, firsthand perspective on his life and travels. After his death, Woolever meticulously compiled his life's work, notes, and reflections, weaving them together with her own insights to complete their shared vision for this one-of-a-kind guide.
