Where Eagles Roam: Howe Sound, British Columbia

August 16, 2015 by Kevin Nelson6 Comments

Perched on a rock in the middle of Howe Sound, less than a half hour from downtown Vancouver, was one of nature’s grandest flying creatures: a bald eagle. Though we could not see the bird in its entirety, we could not miss its white head gazing down imperiously on a pod of harbor seals snoozing in the sun below. Our 30-foot-long rigid hull inflatable boat, powered by twin 225-horsepower Mercury Verrado engines, motored slowly by as the six of … [Read more...]

Beirut in the Baltics

April 6, 2014 by John Edwards3 Comments

John M. Edwards is drawn into the Wild Wild East of “Europe Minor.” After the collapse of communism in the USSR, inflation in the freshly minted Baltic republics of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia rolled up the ruble into the cheapest toilet paper around, so I decided to go East and stock up. I needed a cheap place to wipe my ass because I was then unemployed, and an Orwellian year of freelancing in Paris had left me as restless … [Read more...]

Unusual holidays – volunteering in Zimbabwe

March 8, 2014 by Anna Lysakowska2 Comments

After I decided to volunteer at Antelope Park in Gweru in Zimbabwe many people asked me if I really wanted to go there. Everyone is afraid of something; I was afraid of big dogs.

When I reached Zimbabwe for the first couple of hours I felt afraid - not about the animals I … [Read more...]

Secret slopes: Europe’s hidden ski villages

February 1, 2014 by Adam R1 Comment

If you have always assumed that a skiing holiday is out of your price range, or you've been on a trip but were put off by busy slopes and over-crowded restaurants, then think again as there might be another option. Go 'off-piste' with your choice of resort. Mainstream does not suit everyone, and whilst the big famous resorts are well-established and set up with great facilities, by their very nature they bring in a lot of tourists at peak … [Read more...]

The Kon Tiki Museum in Oslo Norway is a tribute and summary of International explorer Thor Heyderhahl's life.
