Book Description
We are Tanja, Patrick and our teenage son Levi. Like most of you, the Covid pandemic has changed our lives massively. Suddenly we were not able to physically attend our jobs and school anymore, but the three of us were cooped up in our house. It is not that we don’t like our home, it is an awesome place. Being confined to the same space for so long, makes you think. In our minds, we revisited many places we had been to before. And we missed them. So, when the world finally got back to normal and some countries were cautiously opening up again, we found ourselves on a holiday on a gorgeous Greek island. Breathing sunshine and freedom. Breathing life! It was then that we jokingly said to each other: ‘We are so freaking good at traveling! We should do this forever!’ And then we laughed. As with many unconscious spoken words, there was truth in them. We went from ‘what ifs?’ to finding solutions to those questions. As you can imagine there were many things to consider. From practical things like where to leave our stuff, to schooling for our son, financial planning, how to stay connected to family and friends, to staying happy on the road. Spoiler: yes, it is going to be epic! Of course we have our moments (being hangry is one of them). Disclaimer: we are not your Instagram family with the toes-pointing-down-poses, hipster hats and food pics! However, we do take the odd picture that would not be out of place in a travel magazine. We make attractive short videos which give you an excellent feel for the place as well. TravelSome’s next volumes will cover our campervan trip around Great Britain (that is England, Wales and Scotland. For ease of use let’s just call it the UK). Then we ditch the van and are off to Southeast Asia where we will visit Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore. By plains, trains, boats, buses, bikes and tuk tuks. After that we set our eyes on Australia, New Zealand, Japan and beyond. Join us! We would love you to be part of Nomad Travel Family.

Ecotourism in Appalachia
Author: Al Fritsch
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813159229
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Tourism is the world's largest industry, and ecotourism is rapidly emerging as its fastest growing segment. As interest in nature travel increases, so does concern for conservation of the environment and the well-being of local peoples and cultures. Appalachia seems an ideal destination for ecotourists, with its rugged mountains, uniquely diverse forests, wild rivers, and lively arts culture. And ecotourism promises much for the region: protecting the environment while bringing income to disadvantaged communities. But can these promises be kept? Ecotourism in Appalachia examines both the potential and the threats that tourism holds for Central Appalachia. The authors draw lessons from destinations that have suffered from the "tourist trap syndrome," including Nepal and Hawaii. They conclude that only carefully regulated and locally controlled tourism can play a positive role in Appalachia's economic development.

The Roman Empire and the Indian Ocean
Author: Raoul McLaughlin
Publisher: Pen and Sword
ISBN: 1473840953
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 491
Book Description
This study of ancient Roman shipping and trade across continents reveals the Roman Empire’s far-reaching impact in the ancient world. In ancient times, large fleets of Roman merchant ships set sail from Egypt on voyages across the Indian Ocean. They sailed from Roman ports on the Red Sea to distant kingdoms on the east coast of Africa and southern Arabia. Many continued their voyages across the ocean to trade with the rich kingdoms of ancient India. Along these routes, the Roman Empire traded bullion for valuable goods, including exotic African products, Arabian incense, and eastern spices. This book examines Roman commerce with Indian kingdoms from the Indus region to the Tamil lands. It investigates contacts between the Roman Empire and powerful African kingdoms, including the Nilotic regime that ruled Meroe and the rising Axumite Realm. Further chapters explore Roman dealings with the Arab kingdoms of southern Arabia, including the Saba-Himyarites and the Hadramaut Regime, which sent caravans along the incense trail to the ancient rock-carved city of Petra. The first book to bring these subjects together in a single comprehensive study, The Roman Empire and the Indian Ocean reveals Rome’s impact on the ancient world and explains how international trade funded the legions that maintained imperial rule.

Plumes from Paradise
Author: Pamela Swadling
Publisher: Sydney University Press
ISBN: 1743325460
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
The natural resources of New Guinea and nearby islands have attracted outsiders for at least 5000 years: spices, aromatic woods and barks, resins, plumes, sea slugs, shells and pearls all brought traders from distant markets. Among the most sought-after was the bird of paradise. Their magnificent plumes bedecked the hats of fashion-conscious women in Europe and America, provided regalia for the Kings of Nepal, and decorated the headdresses of Janissaries of the Ottoman Empire. Plumes from Paradise tells the story of this interaction, and of the economic, political, social and cultural consequence for the island's inhabitants. It traces 400 years of economic and political history, culminating in the 'plume boom' of the early part of the 20th century, when an unprecedented number of outsiders flocked to the island's coasts and hinterlands. The story teems with the variety of people involved: New Guineans, Indonesians, Chinese, Europeans, hunters, traders, natural historians and their collectors, officials, missionaries, planters, miners, adventurers of every kind. In the wings were the conservationists, whose efforts brought the slaughter of the plume boom to an end and ushered in an era of comparative isolation for the island that lasted until World War II.

The Book of the Damned
Author: Charles Fort
Publisher: Library of Alexandria
ISBN: 1613106424
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
"Time travel, UFOs, mysterious planets, stigmata, rock-throwing poltergeists, huge footprints, bizarre rains of fish and frogs-nearly a century after Charles Fort's Book of the Damned was originally published, the strange phenomenon presented in this book remains largely unexplained by modern science. Through painstaking research and a witty, sarcastic style, Fort captures the imagination while exposing the flaws of popular scientific explanations. Virtually all of his material was compiled and documented from reports published in reputable journals, newspapers and periodicals because he was an avid collector. Charles Fort was somewhat of a recluse who spent most of his spare time researching these strange events and collected these reports from publications sent to him from around the globe. This was the first of a series of books he created on unusual and unexplained events and to this day it remains the most popular. If you agree that truth is often stranger than fiction, then this book is for you"--Taken from Good Reads website.
