Seeing the World One Step at a Time

Mike Corey, Adventure Travel YouTuber & BBC Television Host

December 5, 2020 by Dave1 Comment

Q. Introduce yourself to our readers. I'm Mike Corey, an Adventure Travel YouTuber and BBC Television Host, who helps people overcome their fears so they can travel the world. I have an online travel and lifestyle brand called Fearless & Far, not because I am fearless, but because I've built a life around doing the things that scare me most. Sound fun? Haha I'm a recovering scaredy-cat, and spent most of my life with a phobia of public … [Read more...]

Adventure on the River: West Virginia Whitewater

September 8, 2019 by Amber MacPherson1 Comment

It was July 4th at the New River Gorge in West Virginia. It was dark, and I was on the roof of a truck clinging to the roof rack as we wound through the twisting back roads en route to the edge of the gorge. This had not been the plan. We had ended up loading the truck down with a couple of kegs and as many raft guides as we could fit after the trailer that was supposed to deliver us to the party developed a flat tire. We had unhitched it and … [Read more...]

Pow Wow of the Northern Cree

December 31, 2017 by Abdul Rastagar4 Comments

"Under the reflection of the northern lights, we see the head of Ciiwetinustikwaan, the man of the north." - saying of the Northern Cree After days of adventure travel in the Saguenay-Lac-St Jean area come to a close, I let my fingers meander across the map to find my next would-be destination. This is actually one my of favorite activities: simply pick a remote location on a map and make my way there, never really knowing what I’ll find. I … [Read more...]

Adventure Travel in Quebec – Part II

December 19, 2017 by Abdul RastagarLeave a Comment

“Blessed are the curious, for they shall have adventure.” When I last left you on my week-long adventure trip to Quebec's Saguenay-Lac St. Jean region, I had just finished two days of aerial challenges: an exhausting a treetop obstacle course, followed by an even more obscene climb along the 250-meter high Via Ferrata. What was next on the agenda around Saguenay fjord, I wondered? Sea kayaking in the fjord Turns out, that next stop … [Read more...]

Adventure Travel in Quebec

November 5, 2017 by Abdul RastagarLeave a Comment

“Blessed are the curious, for they shall have adventure.” I admit I only know a little about Quebec, that francophone region located right in the heart of North America. I am aware that it is Canada’s second largest (and second-most populous) province. And that 90% of its population lives within just a couple of hours of the border with the United States. But what about the other 10%? Where and how do they live? What’s there to do beyond … [Read more...]

Conquering the Iron Road of Saguenay

September 15, 2017 by Abdul Rastagar3 Comments

"Abdul! Are you enjoying the views," he asks me in his thick, Quebecois accent. "I'm trying not to!" I bark back at him, just barely managing not to suppress a barrage of foul language. Cedric, my guide, watches on in amusement, a thick smirk covers his unshaven face. I'm balancing on the narrow beams of a hanging bridge, 85 meters long but only 20 cm wide, some 150 meters above Saguenay fjord (280 feet, 8 inches and 500 feet, respectively). The … [Read more...]

Lessons From A Near Death in Namibia

July 14, 2017 by Kristen Gill3 Comments

My guide Hans and I on our long-haul trip through Namibia. Kristen Gill Photography - All Rights Reserved.

Clutching my throat, I asked my guide Hans, “Do you know what plant this is?” “That’s not a good plant. It’s poisonous, and you shouldn’t touch it. You need to wash your hands thoroughly.” “But, I put it in my mouth.” Blank stare, followed by Hans’s eyes growing wider. “I took a bite of it and now my mouth is burning. Really burning. It’s like I’m gargling with carbolic acid,” I managed to explain in a hoarse voice, as my throat … [Read more...]

She Becomes a Judge and I Become a Mountain Nomad

November 28, 2016 by Marinel de JesusLeave a Comment

As usual, I was in my office sipping my cup of soy latte when I heard screaming from a group of female colleagues down the hallway. Having been here at this office for 13 years, my first thought was, “Oh, someone just announced she’s engaged or having a baby.”  My legal office is full of female attorneys. Actually, a majority of them are females. I hit 40 this year. So, as you can see, I spent majority of my fertile years as a female in this work … [Read more...]

Nine Reasons to Visit the Azores Now

September 7, 2016 by Jaime Scilingo11 Comments

Name the group of nine European islands merely four-and-a-half hours from Boston Logan Airport. Stumped? You are not alone.  Most of America has never heard of the Azores, couldn't locate them on a map, and wouldn't know what part of Europe claims them as countrymen.  For the few who do know of the Atlantic eden 900 miles west of Portugal, this Zion is a cherished gift and a dichotomous burden.  On one hand, the beauty and virginal nature of the … [Read more...]
