Get inspired by stories and reflections on travel as an experience, a lifestyle, and an identity.
One of the reasons we travel is to experience firsthand some of the most spectacular sights that Mother Nature and man have created.
If your Instagram account has been unremarkable of late, then it’s time to take a trip to Norway. Make sure to bring your best phone camera, DSLR, or perhaps even a drone with you, because you won’t get enough of the staggering photo opportunities that the country once called “Europe’s most beautiful” has to offer.
Edinburgh’s mighty castle has an explosive, violent past - but that’s nothing compared to what’s underneath it.
It’s your first time in Edinburgh - and there’s no missing the city’s most dramatic landmark.
It’s easy to look up at the battlements of Edinburgh Castle and imagine they’ve always been there – as ancient as the highlands, and just as unbreakable.

It won’t be long before the major regions of the Caucasus transition from “under-the-radar places to travel” to “major tourism destinations.” As Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan become more popular among tourists, so will their culinary offerings — a melange of dishes influenced by Greek, Persian, and Mediterranean cuisine.
It looks something like an enormous plum, but it’s entirely the wrong colour - instead of a dark, ruddy pink or cherry colour, it’s a light, golden hue, neither yellow or orange, like it’s sculpted from butter. It’s also a bit too big, since it’s the size of a crab apple - but it’s not one, since the skin of soft and slightly furry.

A desert is the last thing anyone would equate with paradise, but Jordan’s vast desert region is just that. Comprising around three-quarters of the country, the Jordanian desert is where you’ll find spectacular sights that bring peace and happiness to all those who come to visit.
Want to get a feel for how big the Nile really is? Try to outfly & outsail it.
Let’s say you’re on our Egypt & The Holy Land in 2023, and you have a window seat with your flight into Cairo.

Greetings from Vienna, Austria!
I'm here on a short stop between programs, as we just finished up our fabulous tour of Japan and South Korea, and now I'm on my way to Slovenia to meet our next group of members for our Adriatic Coast program.
I'm excited today to announce the next steps in our 'Companions for the Road' program, which is geared toward connecting solo travellers in our community with other solo travellers who are looking for a travel companion.
