Yes indeed, those random unrelated phrases mean it’s time for a new issue of Perceptive Travel. Follow this link to get right to it: Perceptive Travel May/June ‘08.
The strip passport reference has to be experienced in full to be understood, so check out the great story from Edward Readicker-Henderson. The energy fields are (maybe) in Sedona, Arizona, in a story from Laurie Gough. The third one is from my new co-author Rob Sangster, who wrote beside me on the pages of Transitions Abroad magazine for years before we did a book together.
There are two more features though. A look at the Olympic torch relay fiasco by Tibet guidebook author Michael Buckley, as well as “Lessons Learned in the Wales Countryside,” by Amy Rosen. Amy once wrote a story about How to Build an Igloo at 40 Below and it won so many awards she told me to stop mentioning them. It was getting embarrassing.
I took on both the book reviews and world music reviews this time. That can be a lot of work, but I’ve found that doing that occasionally forces me to actually finish one of the six books I always seem to have on my nightstand and it makes me listen to new music even when I don’t feel like it. Sometimes I discover great stuff that way, like the desert rockers Toumast. Go check it out.
