이 책의 첫째 주는 이달의 축제라는 코너로 한달 간 국내 및 해외의 꼭 가보아 야 할 축제를 바탕으로 구성되어있다. 우리나라 문화체육관광부가 선정한 축제를 토대로 시간이 허락할 때면 한번쯤은 가볼 만한 축제들이다. 다른 문화, 다른 삶, 다른 시각, 다른 모습 등 이런 것이 문화의 기본이 아닐까 하는 마음으로 그들을 이해하려 노력한다. 둘째 주는 주말을 이용한 국내 관광지를 소개하는 코너이다. 국내 17개 시도를 중심으로 각각 5곳의 주요 관광지를 소개하였으며, 방송에서의 소개지는 더욱 많았던 것 같다. 그중에서도 유명하지는 않지만 가보면 소소히 느낄 수 있는 관광지를 기반으로 정리되어있다. 우리 나라에도 아름다운 이색적인 관광지가 많이 있구나하는 것을 느낄 수 있는 부분이 아닐까 생각된다. 셋째 주는 각 대륙별 주요 국가를 세 곳씩 추천하여 그 국가의 문화와 관광지 그리고 음식에 대한 정보로 구성되어있다. 넷째 주는 여행하기 전 알아야 할 정보를 바탕으로 이뤄져있다. 축제, 국내여행지, 해외여행지 등에도 각각의 유용한 정보를 담았지만 호텔, 공항, 항공기 그 외의 여행에 필요한 정보 가 담겨져있다.
