Welcome to the May 2017 issue of our online magazine, the home of the best travel stories from authors on the move, as well as the latest new and notable books. Here's what we've got in store for you:
Gawking at Glaciers in Wild Alaska - Tim Leffel
It almost feels civilized in the Alaskan capital of Anchorage, but just off the train heading south is a wilderness land where icebergs float on lakes and glaciers are still on the move.
Into a Lost World: El Triunfo, Chiapas - Nick Rider
An itch to fill an unknown space on the map leads via a long mountain trek to a cloud forest fastness of amazing riches in the wildest part of Mexico.
Hiding the Cannoli in Sicily - Kirsten Koza
That time when a well-hung travel companion shared a room on a biking trip in Sicily... during a honeymoon.
She Called Me Bindaas - Melissa Adams
When an American writer meets an Indian doctor in a photography workshop, the focus shifts from the annual Pushkar Camel Festival to love and marriage through an Indian lens.
Travel Book Reviews - William Caverlee
Three thoroughly researched and well-written wandering books on tidal patterns, obscure historical travelers, and diverse U.S. national parks.
