EWEN, Cirencester – Even from the car park it’s not hard to see why The Wild Duck near Cirencester attracts the sort of names you’d expect at a Royal Wedding. For a start, the 16th century pub is barely visible underneath its ever-creeping overcoat of ivy and its surrounding cloak of trees and shrubs.

Fun fact: With the exception of that time I moved to China to teach English, I haven’t checked one bag in my nearly seven years of traveling around the world. I pack light, to be sure, but neither my sense of style, nor my personal hygiene, nor my general preparedness has suffered. My hope is that after reading today’s post, you’ll never have to check a bag again, either. Continue reading to learn just how easy (and fast!) packing light can be. A Minimalist Packing List Here’s another fun fact: …
Downtown Tulsa/Steve Larese When crude prices dropped in the 1980s, Tulsa, Oklahoma, the former “Oil Capitol of the World,” dried up like a played-out well. But in just the past few years, this Art Deco-dotted city along the Arkansas River has gotten a second wind. A new generation of restaurants, live music venues, fun local shops, and festivals have brought energy back to the city, drawing comparisons to popular destinations like Nashville and Austin. Even better, living on Tulsa time, as the…
It was the kind of morning dreamy travelogues are made for. The cry of gulls and children’s chatter mingled with the distant ringing of bicycle and church bells. The sunlight threw chevron stripes across the cotton duvet. And the white linen curtains billowed into the room like sails. I eased out of bed and stood …

1Dad1Kid.com Since sharing that we’re going back to Mexico to see if perhaps another part of the country (as opposed to the Yucatan) would work as a base for us, particularly San Miguel de Allende (SMA), I’ve had several people ask what about SMA has drawn us there. So, I figured I’d share the reasons why it’s the first stop for us. Food Mexican food is amazing pretty much everywhere in Mexico. Each region has its special dishes …
Greetings, I’m writing this from Novi Pazar the morning after a long day at the Uvac Special Nature Reserve in Serbia. The nature reserve consists of ~5525 hectares in western Serbia and at its peak is roughly ~1300M+ above sea level. This reserve is home to numerous species of fish, some incredible caves and the breeding grounds for the griffon vulture. We spent a day in and around the Uvac…

However, while the adventurous adrenaline junkies are bungee jumping off bridges, travelers looking for a different kind of enjoyment are indulging in a glass of fine wine in the most luxurious of accommodation settings.

I realize I’m jumping the gun on this; it is, after all, still September. But with the majority of the year behind me, I thought I’d take a few minutes to reflect back on the travel experiences that have meant the most to be this year. I do this acknowledging the fact that I still have several more trips planned for this year and by December 31, I will undoubtedly and hopefully be able to add to this list. More than anything, it’s a good mental exercise for me to look back and reflect and try to …

Join Vagabondish on Twitter and Facebook. When I say Pennsylvania, you think …? Cheesesteaks, insane Eagles fans, and Rocky’s totally rad climb up the steps of that fancy museum in Philly, right? Rabid Fans © US Presswire Totally understandable. But there are actually other cities in Pennsylvania! The cities of Harrisburg and Hershey don’t get nearly the same love as Philadelphia, yet they’re both fantastic in their own right. Harrisburg’s downtown core, in particular, has rapidly grown over the last five years to include fantastic craft breweries, excellent outdoor…

The Potala Palace Lhasa, Tibet Yes, you can visit Tibet in 2015/2016 but here are some things to know first One of the most popular questions I get is how to travel from Nepal to Tibet overland. It’s a very easy thing to do as that previous link to my guide will show. Likewise from mainland China into Tibet it’s also very easy. Due to strict permits and security checks there really is only one option – take a tour. However, since the 2008 uprising in Tibet, China has constantly changed the regulations…
Little atolls rise from the dark blue water like droplets of turquoise pearls, in different shapes and sizes. There are hundreds, if not thousands of them, scattered randomly all over the Indian Ocean. It’s as if Mother Earth had sprinkled a handful of sapphire gems into the sea and created this nation of atolls. In actual fact, Maldives is made up of approximately 1,200 coral islands — only about 200 inhabited — grouped into a double chain that resemble a necklace draped along an undersea plateau. The islands are small…

Get organized in your travels Dave and I live out of suitcases and backpacks. Having our travel…
Army Special Forces veteran Ray Knell cautiously walks toward an old bison before giving it a wide berth; Photograph by Ben Masters Ray Knell, a Green Beret and Afghanistan war veteran, called me in January 2015 seeking advice on how to ride a thousand wilderness miles from Colorado to Montana along North America’s Continental Divide. Two years ago, I completed a 3,000-mile ride using wild mustangs across the American West as part of the documentary Unbranded, so I was eager to share my experiences with Ray for his journey…
We have been overdue for a good wingsuit flight video, but this one certainly makes up for lost time. It features Graham Dickinson and Dario Zanon flying through the Alps, which is of course a common theme in these types of clips. But what will amaze you as how close the get to the ground, and how they actually fly below the height of the trees, expertly maneuvering in and out of a forest on the… [[ This is a content summary only.
