Once you get there, where do you go?
Some of the travel world’s harshest criticism is reserved for those who impose the norms and expectations of one place onto another. It can be as simple as dressing a certain way, demanding speedy service, or expecting a certain language. It can be as heavy as trying to impose a style of government, farming or birth control.
Kayak Video Invites Us To Get Some Face Time
I came across this cool paddling video at the Canoe & Kayak Magazine website. It's the trailer for an upcoming kayaking movie called Face Time, which is due out this spring, and it should serve the same purpose as yesterday's mountain biking video, to inspire us to hold on until spring, when we can hit the water once again.
Tips for solo travel
The number one question I’ve ever been asked by anyone when I’m preparing to go anywhere is: Why on earth are you going alone? There is a pervasive fear that solo travelers, particularly women, will probably be raped, maimed, or at the very least, incredibly lonely within seconds of setting foot outside your apartment. Instead, I have the best times going it alone — although the hospital in Jomtien would have been nicer with someone to hold my hand — and so do loads of other people.
The World's Hardest Bouldering Problem Captured On Video
Climber Daniel Woods has completed what might be the hardest bouldering problem in the world, a route in Boulder Canyon, Colorado that he has named "The Game" and is tentatively being rated a V16 difficulty. Woods has completed similarly challenging boulders before, but thinks this one is, by far, the most challenging he has done.
His work on the problem was captured on video, and you can check out for yourself. Makes my fingers hurt just watching it! Great work though. Congrats Daniel!
