I love it when you stumble upon completely out of the ordinary things. Travel is just as much about the unexpected surprises as it is the bucket list items. We had one of those moments driving through the Karri forest of Pemberton in Western Australia, 3.5 hours south of Perth and 2.5 hours south-west of Margaret River. We were sitting in …

Unfortunately, due to a persistent neck injury I was forced to linger behind while Audrey joined the rest of the blogging crew to ascend up the mountain. This challenging (yet rewarding) hike is well documented by Audrey as she huffs out of breath frequently during her speaking clips. Fortunately for all of us she takes ample time to capture all of the rugged…

Photo by Chad Blotner I learned to kayak from men, paddled with men, received a rope-bag-to-the-face from men. It’s a fact: men dominate the world of whitewater.

Meet four adventure pioneers, and two up-and-coming forces, who push the limits and kick ass, all with the grace of a woman. The Paddler Anna Levesque, 41 Founder, Girls at Play Asheville, N.C.

Harvest season brings fresh hops, but not every city in the world can boast an overflowing offering of craft beers and homegrown breweries. That’s why we tapped our Nat Geo Travel Facebook fans to share their favorite beer-drinking destinations. So crack open a cold one and find out which cities are tops for hops: The Czech Republic consumes more beer per capita than any nation in the world, so it’s little wonder our readers gave it love. Both Tomáš M. and Udo G. point to 2015 European Capital of Culture…

Boxes that need ticking for our next escape: wild nature , sunny, Caribbean waters, off-the-grid and with a dose of culture. It’s a tall order, but one that El Otro Lado in mellow Panama fills – oh, and for less than you’d expect right now, too. STYLE Native arts and culture SETTING Placid Portobelo Bay WHY THIS WEEK?

There is no area better known as a bastion of English refinement, countryside sophistication and village charm than the unfolding hills or ‘wolds’ of the Cotswolds. This picture-book part of England has long been a place to retreat for lazy half-terms and blissed-out weekends. But behind the sleepy villages, bucolic teashops, and Thelwell style farms, The post A Wild Weekend in the Cotswolds appeared first on
This entry was originally post by thehipmunk on Hipmunk’s Tailwind blog on October 11, 2015 Just like any other type of rewards program, frequent flyer miles are what you make of them. Many people hoard their points in order to purchase flights, and we’re big proponents of that. After all, getting to fly more often means getting to travel more often, and that means opening yourself up to all the unique experiences and lessons that travel …

Categories: Best OfTravelingBody: When we were visiting Stratford, Ontario earlier this month, we had a slew of plays and musicals to choose from. For, as you know, Stratford is a theatre town, and why visit without seeing the shows? As we discovered, Stratford is also an art town, a foodie town, and a deeply cultural …
All of us have strange habits, quirks that make us unique and I’d like to think interesting. This naturally translates to the travel experience and so, in another effort to share more of who I am, I thought I’d share some of what I think are quirky travel habits. I’m not saying that I’m alone in these eccentricities, but they are how I travel …

Bipin Sharma Bhatta and Sangita Bazagai on their wedding day Nepalese Weddings I’ve never been to an actual Nepalese wedding. I’ve come across a few, tentatively. Usually by accident on a Saturday when out for a walk. The most common sight is a tent, lots of ladies in colorful sarees and gents in suits. But as an outsider with a camera I never felt it appropriate to just self-invite (wedding crash) and venture in. A few weeks ago my good friend Amir and…

If you follow this blog with any regularity, you probably already know that 2015 has been a tough year for mountaineering expeditions. Climbers have found little success on the big 8000 meter peaks in particular, as poor weather has been a common problem all year long. Additionally, the Nepali earthquake this past spring shutdown climbing operations across the Himalaya, forcing most teams to go… [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links
