The author of a book documenting his hike across Corsica has effusively praised the country.
Brian Bouldrey's Honorable Bandit: A Walk Across Corsica is a highly personal account of a 'meandering' journey across the rocky landscape.
The aim of the book is to encourage readers to follow in his footsteps.
"Any time I've taken a detour, any time I've taken the long way, or the crooked and wide way, it has always been the better thing. I see more, I understand more, and I come away with one more story," Mr Bouldrey told the Bay Area Reporter.
He added: "I certainly hope reading about my travels in Corsica will make readers want to visit this amazing place."
The hiker advocated "stepping off the road most travelled". Only then, he said, can you get the full Corsica experience.
Honorable Bandit: A Walk Across Corsica is available to buy from Amazon.com for $17.79 (£8.83).
