I MISSED MY STOP (v1.0)
June 29th, 2010
We can’t be everywhere at once. I’m sure there’s a law of physics in there somewhere.
Picture yourself sitting at a nice outdoor cafe in your hometown. Now, does your mind drift off to some far-away land accompanied by a secret wish that Star Trek’s ‘transporter beam’ actually did exist and you’d give anything to have one right now, right there beside you? Maybe it’s a beach that you’re pining for as you drink your Cafe Mocha. Or a bar with just the right temperature and tang of English Bitter. Perhaps a desert or a jungle, a city or a slope. So many options.
Doug and I face that predicament every day. Try as we might, we can’t possibly cover every corner of the globe for Wanderism with stories, articles, photos, videos and the like. There’s a ton of entertaining, colorful (and dare I say ‘educational’) information out there, which is why if you’re a fan of Wanderism chances are you visit a number of other travel-based websites (and bookmark us we hope!) to get your fix.
A couple of travel websites we frequent offer articles every so often that provide a set of links to other sites that might have particularly good stories about the wonderful places on this planet. We think that’s a good idea – spreading the gospel, so to speak.
Frequently, that information is found in those few remaining newspapers (remember newspapers?) that continue to feature ‘travel’ pages – sometimes whole sections. And more often than not those newspapers are in far-flung cities of the world, and the information isn’t always what you’d expect.
Herewith, the first installment of some travel pages you may have ‘missed’. Enjoy!
