What’s The Skinny on Argentine Beef?
Welcome to the Southern Hemisphere, Matt! As our fearless Expeditioner was kind enough to mention yesterday, my name is Hal and I’m currently calling Buenos Aires home. To be honest, it doesn’t feel quite like home yet, as I’ve only been in the BsAs a total of 6 nights so far. I’m still seeing everything […]

TheExpeditioner.com To Africa
Into Africa This morning, as a stepped out of the shower, I noticed that for the first time in quite a while, I didn’t immediately start sweating profusely as a result of the oppressive humidity that usually blankets New York City in August, which only means one thing: summer is officially coming to a close. […]
Video: Tracking Caravans In Niger
Holly Morris of Globe Trekker (whose mother wrote the biography that “Brian’s Song” was based) treks out into the deserts of Niger to track down one of the continent’s few remaining traveling caravans.

The Curious Case Of The Santorini Sunsets
Perhaps the world’s most beautiful, partially collapsed island in the world, Santorini is the only inhabited caldera in the world, and for some reason, known the world over for their immaculate sunsets.

Angkor Wat At Sunset With A Little Help From My Friends

By Paige Stringer My first glimpse of Angkor Wat came from the back seat of a Cambodian police officer’s motorbike. It all started with an early evening arrival in Siem Reap. After checking in […]
Video: World’s Deadliest Pool?
One of the highlights of visiting Victoria Falls in September during the “dry” season is the accessibility of Devil’s Pool, a 100-meter high natural pool formed as a result of a well-placed rock wall just below the surface.
Want The Real Berlin? Try Sleeping In A Berliner’s Bed. Berliner Optional
I guess I didn’t realize that short-term/weekly rentals are far and few between in England, so imagine the shock a Londoner received when they found out they can squat in a decked-out Berlin penthouse for a full week for about the same as one night would’ve cost in a hotel.
