I love seeing the public service notices posted throughout developing countries because they’re almost always equal parts the following three things: eye-catching, hilarious and frightening. Take for instance this fabulous poster from Laos that appears to be warning about a potential attack from mutant mosquitoes the size of a toddler. You can’t help but laugh... read more {The Taktsang Palphug Monastery in Bhutan} This Himalayan Buddhist monastery, which also goes by the name “Tiger’s Nest”, was built in 1692 in Bhutan’s Paro Valley. The monastery clings to the edge of a cliff about 10,000 feet (3,000 metres) above the valley floor! read more

The road from Chiang Mai to Pai, Thailand has 762 bends, or so the t-shirts say. I didn’t even begin counting them. We’ve lived in Thailand on and off for 10 months over the last three years but we had always skipped Pai, the peaceful, mountain town famous for hippies and having not much to do. It’s just three hours north, up over the mountains in a series of switch backs and steep climbs, a fun, challenging route for a motorbike, so we finally decided to make the trek. We packed a backpack, strapped to the front of our motorbike, in what seemed at the time to be a creative Thai-like solution to fitting all of us (me, my husband and our son) on the bike plus the stroller that my husband balanced between his legs as he drove. I love being on the motorbike, especially with the three of us, something we’ve done for years now, through India, Thailand, Laos, and Bali.

When I was travelling and living abroad full-time, I was basically a technology-free girl. This was pre-smart phones and tablets and although I had a laptop, it was way too heavy to lug in my backpack and usually stayed sitting on a desk wherever my home base was at the time. But these days - well, that's entirely another story. Let me start with my beloved smart phone (aka my "brain extension"). I was a bit of a late convert to iPhone ownership but I quickly discovered it has multiple fantastic uses for all kinds of things I wouldn't have imagined.Wikitravel

What Food to Pack for a Long Hike While hiking everything you carry with you needs to be able to fit in your bulky backpack, this means you can’t lug a cooler and grill to the top of whatever peak you decide to conquer and barbeque some burgers a couple hundred feet above sea level. read moreEverything Everywhere
For a while I’ve wanted to write something explaining why people should travel. Having spent a half a decade exploring the world, more and more I find myself not just traveling for my own benefit but using my platform to encourage others to travel. The problem is, to me the “why” of travel is so obvious that it is hard to put into words. It is also something very personal and different people are going to have very different reasons for traveling. I wish I could write a top 10 list with semi-obvious bullet points about why you should travel.Lonely Planet founder Tony Wheeler takes a journey north along the Richardson Highway, one of Alaska's iconic road trips .
