Deciding to go to India for 5 months was always going to mean that I would not have the gay ol’ life that I am used to. Rumpy pumpy between fellas is illegal in India, so I was pretty sure that I wouldn’t be finding gay bars on every corner, or indeed, any corner. Even in the small traditional city of Oaxaca, Mexico where I... (c) That Gay Backpacker » That Gay Backpacker | That Gay Backpacker - Read entire story here. … [Read more]
By Adam Groffman Edinburgh is unquestionably one of Europe’s most beautiful cities–the cobblestone streets, the narrow alleys, the old-town feeling. Edinburgh seems more like a 16th century kingdom than a 21st century metropolis. And yet the city somehow maintains its history in a modern way. Overlooking the city, the Edinburgh Castle...

Some of the most frequent questions we’ve gotten over the years (particularly during our summer 2015 bus renovation) have been around the amount we have invested in our RV, and more particularly – why didn’t we just go buy a newer RV with all the features we wanted, rather than building them in ourselves? Is it really worth the effort the renovate an older RV? Of course, the ultimate answer comes down to personal preference and style. Not all decisions are purely about what is most cost effective. In our case however, we ... (c) Technomadia - Read entire story here. … [Read more]
Yemeni cuisine is as surprisingly diverse as the landscape of a country I visited in its last days of stability. Although the security situation has changed considerably in Yemen since 2013, these tastes flavor a culture that’s often obscured by bomb smoke for many around the world. The Spread Yemeni breakfast, lunch, and dinner tables only begin like the photo below from At Hameeda, a completely woman owned and run restaurant near the city of Shibam (northwest of Sana’a).

The life, the colour, the music…it’s all here – a pulsing, heartbeat that sweeps you up and carries you off in its bohemian salsa tempo. The personality of this fascinating country is magnetic, infectious and impossible to say no to. Most interestingly, this incredible vibrancy is everywhere you go in Cuba. Every town and village we visited, the countryside, the city, this vitality is woven into the very fabric of what makes Cuba. This isn’t ... (c) y Travel Blog - Read entire story here. … [Read more]

An alpine ramble along part of the Roper High route of the High Sierras, leaves plenty of time for fishing and relaxation. by Ryan Jordan | 2015-09-29Two years ago, my son and friends completed a trek in the High Sierra out of the Florence Lake trailhead.

Backpacking is a value packed activity. Travelling light and free is only very rarely the pursuit of middle aged millionaires. More often it’s the province of free-wheeling folk who are not quite ready to settle down to the serious business of full time family life and a suited and booted business career.Metaphorically as well as practically speaking, backpacking depends on cramming as much as you can into...

Backpack or suitcase? Straps or wheels? Which of these two types of luggage should you use to pack for a long trip? These are questions I debated back and forth before setting out on this most recent trip around Europe. When I first set out on my big 15-month round-the-world trip I carried a 60L backpack. Even though the size of my pack forced me to adopt a minimalist packing style, I still found the weight to be a little too much for me. Sure, it was super convenient because I ...

Switzerland conjures up many images. On one side, there are majestic mountains, delicious fondue and chocolate, big banks sheltering people’s money, precision watches, and an orderly society. On the other, heart attack–inducing prices: $8 USD coffee or beer?! $50 steaks?! A $15 menu at McDonald’s?! $35-40 hostel beds?! WTH!

Unless you’re some kind of masochist, there’s absolutely nothing enjoyable about heading beyond the Arctic Circle without dressing for the occasion. The Norwegians have a saying, ‘There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing’, and I couldn’t agree more. As a general rule of thumb, what you wear in the Arctic regions often dictates the level of adventure you’re able to get away with. You might look great in a pair of high heels, but not so great after you’ve been... (c) The Culture Map - Read entire story here. … [Read more]

It was drizzling by the time I arrived at Vintgar Gorge, but not enough to discourage me from making the hike. Truthfully, the gorge had not even been on my radar. I had taken the bus to Lake Bohinj in Slovenia‘s Triglav National Park the day before, intending to work my way back to Ljubljana via Lake Bled, stopping for a few hours in each place. But one look at Lake Bohinj, with its encircling Karst limestone towers, emerald water, and pocket beaches, and knew... (c) Hole In The Donut Cultural Travel - Read entire story here. … [Read more]
