Exotic Travel From The Asmet To Africa

Let us take you on an exotic travel adventure. This book is your passport to destinations that are among the most remote on the planet. And all the stories are true. Imagine what it would be like to have your face painted by a headhunter. What would go through your mind as you caught a live alligator with your bare hands? How could you resist swimming with sea lions who could mimic almost all of your maneuvers? What would it be like to share in the discovery of a nineteenth century shipwreck off a deserted island? You will experience all of this and more as you accompany us through this book. We followed a routine for each trip. Long before we boarded our ship or plane we spent weeks devouring information about the places we would be seeing. Then during the trip we took copious notes. Upon our return we combined the knowledge we had gained, the photos, souvenirs and videos with our original studies. Only then did I begin writing and Marcia begin typing. We sent our stories to many friends and relatives who graciously seemed to welcome them. There are many expedition travel agencies but only three we can recommend from first-hand knowledge. Abercrombie and Kent, Society Expeditions, and Zegrahm all somehow combined the risk of adventure with the safety net of security that made us feel at home anywhere. We gained so much from our adventures. Although we can recall the wonderful, awesome experiences, we are aware of some shadows too. We saw how the rainforests are diminishing, species becoming extinct, and populations growing at an alarming rate. We are keenly aware of changes in the ozone layer over the South Pole and quixotic weather patterns. El nino no longer occurs only once everytwenty-two years. The warming of the planet is not a debatable topic to us. More than anything else, however, we savor the richness of these expeditionsConner, Ben is the author of 'Exotic Travel From The Asmet To Africa', published 2005 under ISBN 9781413473971 and ISBN 1413473970.
