Leopard Portrait
I have visited the socialist country of Tanzania three times over the last twelve years. The last trip, in 2023, was the longest and most thrilling. Our tour director was the incredible Maasai tribesman Robert Marks. Born in the Ngorongoro Crater, his mother died in childbirth, and he was raised by missionaries. Rather than growing up as a goat herder in the Crater, Robert became a Tanzanian medical doctor and is employed by NatGeo as a professional wildlife photographer. He even appeared on the Jack Hannah show, an episode I've seen.

We heard animal noises but couldn't see anything in the pitch-black early hours. Suddenly, our flashlights reflected yellow eyes all around, encircling us.

Youβve heard of Arches and Zion National Parks in Utah? Theyβre great, but crowded. Popular. Iβm the weirdo who's off exploring Utah's lesser-known Capitol Reef National Park instead.
Joe Guay - Dispatches From the Guay Life!!Published 13 days ago in WanderThe Last Days of Christopher McCandless: A Journey of no return
Christopher McCandless, a young man with a restless spirit and a deep yearning for adventure, set off on an odyssey into the Alaskan wilderness in 1992. His quest for a life of simplicity and self-reliance ended in tragedy, but his story, immortalized in Jon Krakauer's book "Into the Wild" and its film adaptation, continues to resonate deeply with those who dream of escaping the confines of modern society to seek a more authentic existence.

It all started with a phone call from one of our relatives in Norway inviting us to visit them in 2014. It ended up expanding to both sides of my husband's families located in Bergen and the other in Trondheim with a stay in between at the family home located centrally in the western fjords.

AAA Motivations: 1. Altruism- to live by helping others, even at the cost of self. This is like the lighthouse bucket, because the lighthouse is constantly helping to lead others on their path.
Shelby HagoodPublished 17 days ago in WanderOne of the Worldβs Narrowest Streets is Located in Vrbnik
Fairy tale. This is the first word that comes to mind as you approach the enchanting town of Vrbnik on Krk Island,Croatia. Nestled on the landward side, the town is surrounded by vineyards where the indigenous Vrbnik Ε½lahtina wine variety is cultivated. The name Ε½lahtina derives from the Slavic adjective βΕΎlahten,β meaning noble. The natural beauty of this landscape is complemented by the sky-blue sea, whose gentle murmur can be heard beneath the 50-meter high rock upon which Vrbnik is perched.
Magic Exists
The best trip Iβve ever taken is no trip at all. Itβs semantics, really, but a trip assumes a destination, and since this trip has no Terra firma destination, I would describe it as a quest.

Star Wars, Harry Potter and Game of Thrones - just but three of my favorite things in the world. Joy is also having a BFF who love these pop culture phenomena as much as I do.

I donβt know if this is my best trip ever, but it is definitely up there in my top ten list. And while it was a very short trip, I did luckily remember to take a few photos. The trip in question took place last year on Thanksgiving.
Rebecca PattonPublished 20 days ago in WanderThe Second Visit
PART III Andrea invited me to visit her again, our "do-over." So much had happened in the two years since I saw her in person. A month after I returned from the Oxford visit, I rushed to my mother's bedside to be with her in her final weeks of life. It was an opportunity to share words, space, love, and companionship with her one last time, one I would have missed had I not chosen to cut my trip short because of the pandemic.
