othing beats the wind whipping in your face, the dust catching at the back of your throat, the jarring impact through braced arms as anda careen down a mountainside with nothing separating anda from the unforgiving ground but a t-shirt and your own skill. It is that potential for danger, the desire to find the edge between elation and disaster that drives mountain bikers seek out ever newer and lebih challenging terrain. Mountain bikers will traverse the globe seeking this thrill, and many find their way to the Blue Mountains of Australia.

Mountain biking in the Blue Mountains allows riders the...

Fellowship in the 'Land of api, kebakaran and Ice

posted by vagos

Three days into a trek across the volcanic highlands of southwest Iceland, it occurs to me: This is Tolkien's Middle-earth. With its obsidian lava fields and steaming hot springs, its moss-covered foothills and treeless valleys, Iceland is Mordor one minit and the Shire the next. It has a magical quality to it, this Land of api, kebakaran and Ice—as if it has been plucked from the imagination and placed here, somewhere between Eropah and North America, to be a playground for the adventurous traveler.

A thousand years ago, Iceland's Viking settlers sent criminals to the island's inhospitable interior,...

Hiking in New Hampshire's White Mountains

posted by vagos

There's a popular misconception in American hiking circles that the only "real" mountains in the U.S. are found out west. I've been guilty of it myself, looking to the Sierras and the Rockies for adventure and ignoringhere in my column, anywaythe joys and challenges of the Northeast. That's an oversight I'll put behind me this month.

Peter Potterfield, who writes about New Hampshire's White Mountains in his excellent book, Classic Hikes of the World, says that these peaks have "been the comeuppance of many an arrogant hiker from outside New England." He's right. They've humbled quite a few...

"In the forest anda must first use your ears, then your eyes," says Harris McDonald, my rainforest guide here on the tiny Caribbean island of Tobago. He silences me with a finger to his mouth. "Listen." I do, and then I hear it: a loud, yawning groan like something straight out of Jurassic Park. I back up a step and stumble over the gnarled roots of the keldai, mule path we've been following for the past hour.

McDonald follows that with a smile roughly the same size as the machete at his side. He's known as the "Jungle Man," and he's been leading casual hari hikers and tourists into Tobago's rainforestthe...

Into Africa Adventures

posted by vagos

On the border between South Africa and Zimbabwe (Beitbridge), just south of the Limpopo one can find the picturesque town of Louis Trichart in the mountainous area of the Soutpansberg. On a baru-baru ini trip back from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe we visited this area as well as the Njelele valley (close to Toyandou town) in the neighbouring Venda. This geographical area is blessed with a rich historical background full of legends and myths and is one of a few remaining unspoilt areas of South Africa. Today, the history is still evident in the names of the two major towns in the area namely Louis Trichard...

Can Anyone Learn to be Funny?

posted by vagos

Probably the single greatest asset which anyone can ever have in conversations is the ability to make other people laugh.

Whether anda are asking your boss for a raise, talking to someone who anda like, atau just trying to be the popular person who everyone wants to be around, anda will get light years ahead if only anda can make them laugh.

An interesting, but little known fact is that laughter is a response which is a subconscious way of saying to someone else "I want to bond with you". Is it any wonder that countless surveys have shown that the number one desired characteristic in the opposite sex,...
