Sam savors every local culture he encounters much like Conan O’Brian and the late Anthony Bourdain—embracing the people, their food, and especially their curiosities.

Down on his luck and disabled, cancer survivor Matthew Evans had nothing to lose by fleeing the farmsteads of Muscatine, Iowa, at age 21 to pursue his Chinese Dream. With all the makings of a classic folk tale, his curiosity became an epic five-year adventure that would find him homeless, stateless, posing as a professor, imprisoned, deported, and caught in the middle of the 2014 Hong Kong protests. Though it has all the form of great fiction, An American Bum in China is a true story and all the crazier for it.

"Siden jeg første gang for en menneskealder siden besøgte Burma og forelskede mig i dette skønne, charmerende land og dets smilende, sorgløse befolkning, har jeg ofte drømt om engang at vende tilbage; men årene gik, og skæbnen førte mig mod andre kyster. Da drømmen nu er ved at blive til virkelighed, er jeg forberedt på at møde et nyt Burma, et frit land på godt og ondt, med lys og skygge, endnu skrammet og skælvende efter krigens ragnarok.

Aage Krarup Nielsen har rejst verden tynd, og han har oplevet de mest utrolige egne og fantastiske befolkninger. Burma er et af de lande, der aldrig har sluppet grebet om ham. Da han i 1942 vender tilbage til "landet med de lykkelige smil", er meget forandret. Anden Verdenskrig er til stede i Burma ligesom i hele resten af verden.

Den danske globetrotter Birgitte Valvanne tilbragte næsten 10 år i Indien, hvor hun blev betaget af både den farverige kultur, indernes hverdag og traditionel filosofi.

Nicht jeder Reisende hat in Tokio sein Herz gelassen. Als seelenlose Großstadt verschrien, wo Arbeit mehr wiegt als Familie und Freizeit (Gesundheit gar), als Abbild einer Konsumgesellschaft abgestempelt, wo jeder Ablauf koordiniert ist und kein Raum für Individualität bleibt – die Stadt spaltet die Gemüter, vor allem bei Besuchern mit wenig Zeit, aber hohen Erwartungen.

Zurzeit gilt Thailand als eine der beliebtesten Reiseregionen überhaupt – nicht nur die atemberaubende Landschaft lockt die Touristen in die Gegend Südostasiens, sondern auch die wunderbare kulinarische Vielfalt und die Gastfreundschaft der Thais. Ich habe 2018 zum ersten Mal Europa verlassen und einen September lang dort verbracht und möchte diese Erfahrungen mit Ihnen teilen, denn es steckt weitaus mehr dahinter als ein tropischer Sandstrand und kostengünstige Standards.

In this anthology curated from his popular Footsteps on the Mountain blog, Mark Horrell explores the evolution of Sherpa mountaineers, from the porters of early expeditions to the superstar climbers of the present day.

Stu Nugent was never a good candidate for a round-the-world cycling trip. He was, and remains, a coward. In a flash of uncharacteristic daring, he attempted to cycle the Northern Silk Road, from Shanghai to Europe. He failed. He failed dramatically. Against a backdrop of the world's most staggering, awe-inspiring landscapes, he was forced to smoke opium at gunpoint, attacked by a snake in a remote Kyrgyz river, robbed at gunpoint by the police, and eventually imprisoned in anonymous jail somewhere on the Kazakh steppe. How did it all go so wrong?

Making It Big in Japan is your ultimate guide to living, working, and playing in Japan. The information you get about Japan from reading articles online in English only scratches the surface. Like an outdated textbook, the advice seems to be stuck in the 1980s without reflecting the real pace of change in Japan. There is a need for more clarity and explanations of information that is often only available in Japanese. To fill this gap, I have interviewed the people who influenced me, served as role models, or offered valuable perspectives along my seven-year journey in Japan.
