Book Synopsis Between South and North: Travelogue02 by : K.K. Pierscieniak
Download or read book Between South and North: Travelogue02 written by K.K. Pierscieniak and published by el_Traveler Media. This book was released on 2013-12-13 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a not-so-brief absence from South America, I returned and picked-up exactly where I had left off, exactly where I’d begun originally: in smoggy Lima. Only this second time, I angled north: for the equator. The north of Peru is strikingly different from the south and yet again, like once before, I struck-up the most interesting acquaintanceships in a Plaza de Armas. Ecuador came next: there I discovered the whole continent in miniature, but nothing except tourist gimmicks to delay me. I crossed the next border with rare trepidation because the land of coffee, cartels, and cocaine -Colombia- was enjoying such an unsavory reputation. But it proved one of the most extraordinary countries that I've ever set-foot-in. My heart had never felt so heavy as when I took the first step into Venezuela. There I could have lingered longer, visited more places, but a strike paralyzed the cities and it had seemed prudent to leave while I could. Panama: getting in was a lot more exciting than being in. Nicaragua: tiny islands half-lost far-off at sea. Honduras: good roads and donuts. El Salvador: a tragic country whose people have suffered through everything yet refuse to give-in to despair. Guatemala, everybody’s favorite corner of Latin American: Antigua, Chichicastenango and El Mirador. Big Mama on Caye Culker, Belize. Mexico: too many kilometers on too many buses in too few days. Travelogue02 swings through every country south of the Rio Grande, eighteen in all, except the Guianas. The author is nobody special — he’s just of a new breed of travel writers. And his Travelogues are for a new breed of readers — normal contemporary sorts of people like and my neighbor Tom, feeding their curiosity for curiosity’s sake, taking armchair voyages through countries that until a few years ago were virtually unknown to the outside word. While bookshop shelves tend to sag under the weight of stories about places, not journeys, the latter are far more fascinating. Few books today capture the essence of what it is like to travel. Having established himself with the original bold “what’s it really like Out There” anthology, the author does exactly that. Each Travelogue offers its reader more than the old tired travel diary. Just like each one of the author’s trips turned out most unusual, these books —too— are out of the ordinary. They’re collections of short stories, each capturing a particular moment: some are funny, some emotional, some suspenseful, some downright silly... and each one is very different from every other. They are snapshots of people and places and adventures that had been recorded in words rather than by multicolored pixels of a digital point-and-shoot. What makes them unreal is that all these stories are 100% true... Seriously, you couldn't make this stuff up even if you wanted to. None of it is this normal cut-and-dry stuff. Every story offers a fresh insight, a totally different perspective. On the beaten path... and off of it, against the backdrop of the exotic, anything can happen: and it usually does. More often than not, these stories are set in villages kilometers apart, but there’s never telling what might happen next. The author doesn't care where the journey might take him — it’s all about the experience of being Out There. He’s simply following his passion for discovering and exploring. For Travelogues’ readers, the books are a jaunt into the unknown. It’s the journey and not the destination that matters.

Book excerpt: Searching for even more wild places and new experiences, Dan became determined to explore 'off the map' in Africa. From the mighty Sahara Desert in the north to the dense equatorial jungles of the Congo and the open grasslands of Southern Africa, Dan turned his biggest dream into reality. Over the course of three years Dan's second major expedition spanned fifty-four thousand miles through thirty-five unique African countries. THE ADVENTURE WAS A THOUSAND TIMES BIGGER THAN HE DREAMED POSSIBLE. After exploring the Pan-American Highway from Alaska to Argentina Dan became hooked on the freedom of global overland travel, and he only wanted more. New languages, exotic foods, stunning landscapes and local people with an entirely different outlook became Dan's everyday life. As the months turned into years, through highlights and despair Dan gained a new appreciation for what it truly means to be alive. Viewing our modern world through African eyes gave Dan a new perspective, and he was pulled in by the endless joy, laughter and kindness at every turn. While the landscapes and wildlife are undeniably breathtaking, it is the natural warmth of the African people that is truly unforgettable. All across the continent Dan was welcomed with love and generosity, and now he will never be the same.

Book Synopsis The Travelers' Guide to Latin American Customs and Manners by : Elizabeth Devine
Download or read book The Travelers' Guide to Latin American Customs and Manners written by Elizabeth Devine and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2000-11-22 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Latin America, travelers may encounter such diverse settings as laid-back coastal resorts and traditional mountain villages, while elsewhere, the cultural expectations of these countries can be worlds away. For instance: -In Mexico, crooking the index finger to say "come here" and the American "okay" sign are considered obscene. -Photographing military installations in Mexico, Cuba, or Paraguay could land you in jail---or at least lead to your forfeiting your film to the police. -If you wear the clothing of the indigenous people in Peru, they will think you're making fun of them. -State-run "official" restaurants aren't your best bet in Cuba---seek out paladares, small restaurants set up in private homes. -You shouldn't be surprised if you don't get silverware in the Belize countryside. Tortillas are often used in place of spoons. -Bikinis are not acceptable on Ecuadorean beaches. -Giving a Chilean yellow roses signifies scorn or contempt. Fully updated and expanded, The Travelers' Guide to Latin American Customs and Manners includes advice and information on daily life in Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

Book Synopsis Overland to South America by Public Transportation by : Jack Wiley
Download or read book Overland to South America by Public Transportation written by Jack Wiley and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OVERLAND TO SOUTH AMERICA BY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION describes a 9,000 mile journey the author made from the United States to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1964. He made the entire trip overland by buses and trains, except for a short air hop over the Darien region of Panama and Colombia, where there was no road across. The fares for the buses, trains, and air hop totaled $199. Although prices have risen dramatically since then and now as this book is published for the first time in 2015, the journey detailed in this book remains one of the cheapest and most fascinating overland routes in the world. The author continued traveling overland from Buenos Aires to Montevideo, Uruguay, and then northward in Brazil to Rio de Janeiro and finally to Brasilia. His return to the United States was by air with a long stopover in Manaus, Brazil. This was a defining and life changing journey for the author, and a similar trip following the same routes detailed in this book can still be made today.
Book Synopsis The Old Patagonian Express by : Paul Theroux
Download or read book The Old Patagonian Express written by Paul Theroux and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2014-11-18 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acclaimed travel writer journeys by train across the Americas from Boston to Patagonia in this international bestselling travel memoir. Starting with a rush-hour subway ride to South Station in Boston to catch the Lake Shore Limited to Chicago, Paul Theroux takes a grand railway adventure first across the United States and then south through Mexico, Central America, and across the Andes until he winds up on the meandering Old Patagonian Express steam engine. His epic commute finally comes to a halt in a desolate land of cracked hills and thorn bushes that reaches toward Antarctica. Along the way, Theroux demonstrates how train travel can reveal “"the social miseries and scenic splendors” of a continent. And through his perceptive prose we learn that what matters most are the people he meets along the way, including the monologuing Mr. Thornberry in Costa Rica, the bogus priest of Cali, and the blind Jorge Luis Borges, who delights in having Theroux read Robert Louis Stevenson to him.

Download or read book First Overland written by Tim Slessor and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2016-03-07 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why Not? After all, no-one had ever done it before. It would be one of the longest of all overland journeys – half way round the world, from the English Channel to Singapore. They knew that several expeditions had already tried it. Some had got as far as the desrts of Persia; a few had even reached the plains of India. But no one had managed to go on from there: over the jungle clad mountains of Assam and across northern Burma to Thailand and Malaya. Over the last 3,000 miles it seemed there were ‘just too many rivers and too few roads'. But no-one really knew … In fact, their problems began much earlier than that. As mere undergraduates, they had no money, no cars, nothing. But with a cool audacity, which was to become characteristic, they set to work – wheedling and cajoling. First, they coaxed the BBC to come up with some film for a possible TV series. They then gently persuaded the manufacturers to lend them two factory-fresh Land Rovers. A publisher was even sweet-talked into giving them an advance on a book. By the time they were ready to go, their sponsors (more than 80 of them) ranged from whiskey distillers to the makers of collapsible buckets. In late 1955, they set off. Seven months and 12,000 miles later, two very weary Land Rovers, escorted by police outriders, rolled into Singapore – to flash bulbs and champagne. Now, fifty years on, their book, ‘First Overland', is republished – with a foreword by Sir David Attenborough. After all, it was he who gave them that film.

Book excerpt: When Dan set out to drive his Jeep from the Northern tip of Alaska to Tierra del Fuego on the Southern tip of South America, he had no idea how much the adventure would change his life. Over the course of two years, Dan's expedition spanned forty thousand miles through sixteen countries. Now he will never be the same. After years of saving, dreaming and planning, Dan wanted to find out if an ordinary guy can achieve the extraordinary. With no sponsorship, a modest savings account and a willingness to learn Spanish, Dan threw himself in. Going solo, with no GPS and sleeping in a ground tent, Dan wanted to experience everything the Americas have to offer. From poking lava with a stick and hiking among world-famous mountains to corrupt military and camping with Ecuadorian locals - every day provided something new. With his eyes and ears open to the world around him, Dan met many interesting and thought-provoking characters. With their guidance and prodding, and by using their unique perspective, Dan was able to learn many valuable life lessons. Running to the beat of a different drum, Latin America was the perfect classroom for Dan to view our modern work-a-day world through an entirely new lens.
