CURATED TRAVEL GUIDES FOR THE OUTDOORSY ADVENTURER
Egypt at a glance From the iconic wonders of the world- the Great Pyramids of Giza to hundreds of temples of the occult- Egypt is bursting with history and monuments. While the pyramids are the best known, they should certainly not be the only reason for a trip to Egypt and they barely scratch the…
China at a glance: For a US tourist, not the easiest place to visit, but one that is sure worth the effort- China packs so much punch for bucket list items I’ve had to plan several future trips to make up for my grossly underestimating the time needed for our first trip. With 225 National…
