Country Counters, Survival School, and Artic Swimming
January 2nd, 2008 Posted in Family travel, Leffel projects, Perceptive Travel
Yes, three random things that have nothing to do with each other: it must be a new issue of Perceptive Travel! Add backpacking toddlers and village elders with tats and you’ve got yourself a fine collection of travel stories.
Marie Javins appears in PT for the first time with a great take on the Antarctica cruise conundrum. Bruce Northam returns with a story about suviving in the desert before trying to survive the world of single malt Scotch. Fawzia Rasheed found all the family travel myths busted when she researched Travel with Babies and Young Children. David Lee Drotar moves across icy artic Finland by a variety of transport modes before swimming in a frigid hole created by an icebreaker. Regular contributor Graham Reid checks out the changing longhouse culture of Malaysian Sarawak.
As always, we review some interesting travel books and a few world music albums worth checking out. See Jan/Feb 08 Perceptive Travel for the whole shebang.
If you’re really fast and sign up for the newsletter before it goes out tomorrow morning (Jan. 3), you could get in on the wheelie backpack giveaway we’re running too! See the sign-up box at the top right of the issue page or home page. If you read this post too late for that, sign up anyway. Each issue we give away some cool stuff and the odds are far better than Powerball.
