Falling for Manuel Antonio: A Three-Day Love Story
I didn’t expect to fall madly, deeply in love with Manuel Antonio (the place, not the man!). Sure, I’d lusted after photos of its beaches and knew the national park was supposed to be spectacular, but I wasn’t prepared for how quickly this place would feel like home. Three days turned out to be nowhere near enough time in this corner of Costa Rica that surpasses all expectations.

What is the Llanberis Path Like?
Climbing Yr Wyddfa, better known as Snowdon, is the highlight of many trips to Wales. Standing at 1,085 metres, it’s the highest mountain in the country and attracts over half a million visitors every year. Of the six main routes to the summit, the Llanberis Path is by far the most popular. People call it the “easy path” — but make no mistake, it’s a long, demanding hike that tests your legs, lungs, and endurance.

Backcountry Backpacking the Lakeshore Trail in the Smoky Mountains: A True Test of Grit
I just returned from a 3-day backpacking backcountry trip in the Smoky Mountains. For those who love the Smokies, the call of the wilderness is irresistible. Winding footpaths, hidden campsites, and the promise of solitude pull hikers deep into one of the most beloved national parks in the country. Among the network of more than 900 miles of official trails, a handful stand out as true tests of endurance and patience. The Lakeshore Trail is one of them.

Sampling the Skeena
The Skeena River in northern British Columbia, Canada is one of those places that takes your breath away. The Gitksan peoples, the indigenous people who were here first, call it the river of mists. Shrouded in clouds, the Skeena can take on a brooding, mysterious quality. Where does it go and who lives along its route? Thankfully, a transcontinental railway hugs its shoreline, making it possible for me, or anybody else, to sample its path from the comfort of a rolling living room.

Beyond the Sunlit Horizon
Fahad had always been drawn to the small coastal town on the edge of the map, a place that promised escape from the relentless pace of the city. From a distance, it looked like perfection: soft white sands stretching into turquoise waters, waves lapping lazily at the shore, and the horizon painted with the gentle hues of a setting sun. Colorful flags fluttered from fishing boats, and laughter seemed to ride on the sea breeze. To an outsider, the town seemed almost untouched by worry or time.
