About OffTheBeatenPath
Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined,
self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters
with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it.
Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In
this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness
and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you
yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever
again be black-and-white.
– Mark Jenkins
Remember the first
time you left home? When you carefully tucked routine into bed with old habits
one night, turned out the lights and slipped out the door to the airport? You could
think of nothing but the thrill of the unknown, the boundless independence, and
all of the adventures that would be yours just by strapping on a backpack.
At WorldNomads.com, we strive to be your companion on the road – providing
destination information, safety tips, global programs and travel insurance that
help keep you travelling safely on your personal adventure. But first, we too are
travellers, and every traveller has a story.
This journal is about
those stories, about life off the beaten path and what exists on the other
side of the computer screen. We’ve decided to ask those who know best,
travellers who are currently on the road, to share their tips and experiences
along the way.
May it be a tale of
intrepid adventure, cultural immersion, or just a count of how many jam sandwiches
one person can eat in six months, the aim of this journal is to follow those firsthand
encounters with the world.
