On the southern tip of a windswept archipelago sixty miles off the coast of mainland British Columbia, lie the remains of a great civilization.

 

Tucked into a sheltered cove on the East Side of Anthony Island, the once thriving village of Ninstints (or Skuun Gwaii, or Sung Gwaii; there are many local spellings) is guarded by...

Demetrius smiled ear to ear as he came rushing out to meet his long lost family from America. The sun shone high behind him, isolating each hair on his balding head in its rays. I heard the crackle of the warped gravel in the road, and observed the herding of sheep in the plot of...

“OK, if I can get my waterproofs on without throwing up, then I’ll try for the summit.”

 

We are at the Gouter Hut (3,800 meters above sea level) en route to the highest point of Western Europe, Mont Blanc (4,810 m). The previous day, Dave, my 30-year-old business partner and marathon runner, and I had been marched...

 

By George Davis - Upon “deplaning” at the Cyril E. King International Airport in St. Thomas, I savored the warm, humid embrace, familiar to anyone who has abandoned the dry chill of winter for the...


It was inevitable. Like falling in love again. Like sunrise after a long, dream-filled night. Like the sort of deep satisfaction discovered in a bowl of green chile stew after four years of Brie and foi gras! It was inevitable that my return to the Southwest after four years in...

I never thought I’d get to say the phrase, “Nice pirate ship,” to a man wearing a skull and cross bones but last Friday, I did. At the laundromat. Well, sort of.

However (un)prepared you are, what you expect isn’t what you’re going to get. Far from being a deterrent to travel, however, this is actually one of the best incentives to go for it. There’s opportunity in...

Arriving in Patagonia, we saw mint blue lakes that made my mouth water. I had never seen such colors in nature. I wanted to wear the glacial lakes. To get to El Chaltén we had to fly to El Calafate first where we’d catch a bus. Hours later, our bus cut through the hills, following teal streams. Herds of choiques and...

Come venture to Gloucester, Massachusetts, and you might witness ghosts of fishermen past, who have returned from their nautical graveyard for one last stroll down its seaworthy streets. For centuries, like thick chowder, the insular waters of the Atlantic were saturated with fish; hearsay dictated you could simply reach down and scoop...

 

Brrrr . . . Washington D.C. in early March is not a pleasant area in which to spend one’s hard-earned free time. Winter persistently clings to the city long after its welcome has worn out and spring is more of a wishful thought than an actual season – if you blink, you’ll miss it. I wanted to...
