I want to work in something I enjoy. Will you suggest a business for me dealing with travel? I am 31, having worked over the years in boring office jobs. I've waited tables, tried retail, and even had a brief time as a coordinator. My passion has always been with travel. I love to explore, to go on any adventure. I love to get lost in the world. I enjoy being in nature, recently having gone mountaineering in Nepal. I enjoy rock climbing, but most of all travel. I have even contacted adventure travel companies to be a guide. Yet, they say that I don't have enough experience in the country, or need to be from the country. I have studied languages since I was little. Spanish is still good. Can anyone suggest a way to make money and do it with travel, eg. travel guide.

What is a good Australian travel/tour company? I'm planning on going on a trip to Australia for a week sometime in summer or fall of 2008, and am trying to find a good company to purchase a tour from. I'm single and in my early twenties, so I'm not really looking for a family-type vacation. I'd like something with some level of adventure to it. I like a lot of outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and boating, as well as going to parties and bars. Does anyone know a travel company or website that offers some kind of tour? Or should I just buy a plane ticket and plan my own vacation?
Travel agent that steals commission from travel agency? I work at an adventure activity company. Many travel agencies book their customers with us. We have one travel agent, when she's in the area she books usually 8-20 customers with us. Other travel agents then let their travel agency know, and a voucher is printed. But this travel agent knows if she doesn't notify her travel company, she can keep the 20% commission dishonestly. This has added up to a huge amount, and after her customers have done the activity, my boss hands this woman a check for several hundred, sometimes more than a thousand, dollars. She's made I'd say at least $6000 this summer doing that. It makes me and my coworkers so mad, we barely clear $1000 month working full time. I'd like to turn this travel agent in. I guess my boss hasn't turned her in, cuz it's all the same to my boss, the company gets the customers. Do you think I should anonymously contact this dishonest travel agents company and report her? She's probably doing same thing with other vendors
High school travel companies?!? I'm looking for several different student travel companies that offer summer travel programs to high school students. Not necessarily educational programs (although those are fine) but any sort of adventure travel programs.

Do I need permission to add a company to my open directory.? Basically I am developing an Adventure Travel Directory and we are adding trips that companies sell into the directory and from there they can market to visitors to our site. We are not charging the companies anything. It has been a big problem trying to get in touch with all the companies because so many people are busy or not there. A friend of mine told me that I did not really need their permission to add them into my directory I just need to provide a way that they can opt out of the directory and let them know that I was adding them into it with a few weeks for them to consider opting out before doing so. i mean google or yahoo dosn't ask permission to add a site to their search. Is This The Case? Thanks.

Does anyone know of good tour groups for international travel? I am a single female in her 30s who is hoping to travel abroad this August. I am travelling alone and would like to join in a group tour. I would like to travel to Thailand, but am open to suggestions. I thought about travelling with REI Adventures, but some of their trips are very costly. I found some websites on group travel, but don't know too much about the companies' reputation.
Travel sellers license and errors and omissions insurance.? If you are selling a tour to a resident of a state where a travel sellers license is required to sell within that state and your company resides outside of that state, are you still required to acquire a sellers license from that state you are selling to? Does this only apply if you are selling airfare or sea travel? How much should I expect to pay (more or less) in errors and omissions insurance if I am a small start up business and we are selling adventure surf tours? Lastly, are you required to disclose the identity of the tour operators for whom you are representing if you are agency selling their tours and if so, how transparent do you need to be?
Are the REI adventure tours in Patagonia worth the money? I would like to go trekking in Patagonia (Chile and Argentina) next year. I've never gone on an official tour (other than a few outings that lasted a few hours or half a day), but I enjoy traveling on my own. However, I question the safety of embarking on a jaunt like this by myself. I'm very fit and comfortable with hiking and camping but I don't have any back-packing experience. So I'm thinking maybe a guided tour would be the right idea this time around. Has anyone done any of the Patagonia adventure tours offered by REI? They're ridiculously expensive, but I know it's a good company and they have an excellent reputation. Any feedback, suggestions, and particularly info from someone who's taken one of the tours is much appreciated! My biggest hang-up is definitely the price. I usually travel on-the-cheap.
Has anyone travelled with either of these companies before? I'm planning to go to Borneo next year on holiday.

Is there a recomended company we should book with? Is there a specific trip you recomend?Is there anyhting we should be aware of (mosquitos)?

I don't want a normal job, how can i find not your average job? I am a 22 year old female with a H/S diploma, classes for airbrushing, and a make-up artist for special effects. I have many loves, cars, bikes, adventure,many forms of art, traveling, and so much more. I don't want to be in an office position, i want to do something exciting or with my art skills. If there is anyone out there that can help me find a job i would greatly appreciate it.

So i droped that. and when i was in school for movies they told me i have to live in the west coast, and thats not something i can afford to do right now. Yeah i have no interest in joining the army or military. . i don't have a death wish. i do want to start my own business and i tried it with the airbrushing but it ended up making me lose my love for art because i depended on it for income. I can't go back to school right now because i dont have the money. I'm kinda at the end on what i can do.Right now i am a bartender and i deal poker, i just recently left an office job. I have many skills in all different areas, i jsut get so bored with my jobs that i don't seem to keep one long enough.

Any flight attendants out there? I've been really trying to find a job I would enjoy. I work in sales for a major cellular company and it's pretty good money but there's no adventure. I sit in the same office everyday, in the same town I was born in. I just KNOW there is more to life than this. I would love a job where I could travel; see new places! I think i'd like to be a flight attendant. I just want to know from anyone who does the job, has done the job, or has dated someone who's done the job (I do have a boyfriend and i'm curious how may be for him) how is it? And how exactly do you go about getting it all started?
the car u drive... look to see urs!? Alfa Passionate and romantic, you fancy yourself. A bit unreliable, and can be eccentric too. You hate BMW drivers, but think and act just like them. Audi You would like to believe you are part of the new generation that is caring, environmentally conscious and family-orientated. Actually quite boring; nothing more than a glorified wuss. Will one day probably drive a Merc, but you still sometimes wonder if you shouldn't have bought that Bee-Em. BMW Self-centred, ambitious, dynamic and assertive. Can be a big show-off pig. Likes impressing too. Buppies and kugels past sell-by date. You think you will be CEO one day. Actually an office weenie who thinks you are God's gift. Daewoo Faceless, subservient and demure (except for Matiz drivers). To you, a good deal is to work from nine to five, get nothing for it, and still say thank you. And then you wonder why you don't have money for a time after hours. Ford You still live in the 70's, trying to cope with the 90's (don't even mention the millennium). A loyal, diligent worker, but baffled by office politics and labour policies. Next car will probably also be a Ford. Holden You are the ultimate on-road idiot. You think your 80s model Commodore is a V8 supercar, OR you think by owning a Barina you’re a true Holden fan. You’re either a redneck or a way-too-standard family parent – but either way, you most likely drive like you’re the only person on the road. You’re even ignorant enough to argue that the new Commodore is better than the new Ford. Honda You aspire to drive a BMW. You are an opinionated pain-in-the-butt. The ultimate suffragette, or the boss's girlfriend (male or female!). Isuzu You like the smell of diesel and have secret fantasy of being a truck driver. Hyundai /Kia Quite progressive, intelligent and practical. But misguided. The kind of person who will suggest a sub-committee to find solutions to what the committee couldn't. You will always maintain that a Korean car is better than any Japanese model. Jeep You would like to believe you are living the American dream and just love the great outdoors. The closest you get to it is by watching Days of Our Lives and the Adventure Channel. Land Rover You are a designer person with a designer life, who always pays too much for everything. Designer mud comes free with the badge. You're a closet colonial racist and have fantasies about the Queen. If you have a Freelander, it was probably a break-up gift from your ex. Mazda A Ford driver with less money. Mostly staid boring with no image and less imagination. Lots of retired people drive Mazdas. You're in the way and should get off the road. Mercedes-Benz Responsible, immaculate and conservative. Boring CEO clones with too much money, or the office super-geek who can't remember what it's like to have fun. Definitely not dating material. Nissan Good, solid, responsible, loyal office-fodder. You like to travel and maintain that you can sell ice to the Eskimos. Favourite answer: "It's a company car." Mitsubishi Not as label-conscious as your Land Rover counterpart, but still suckered into believing in the ultimate Paris-to-Dakar, African adventure. You drive through puddles to create your own designer mud. You believe you've made the grade, but everyone else knows you've got a long way to go. Peugeot Thinks France is the best country in the world and bores everybody with your limited French knowledge and tales of the Louvre and the Sourbonne. Porsche Small dick or mid-life crisis. Renault An eccentric who likes doing things the wrong way around. Usually the one who asks all the silly questions at staff meetings. You fervently believe you have flair, but it's less than that of a French cookbook. Most probably gay. Ssangyong A make-believe fool, because you'd like a Pajero but can't afford it. Don't actually know that the engines are made in India and not in Germany. Toyota Although there are thousands of them, you mostly can’t spot them in their zero-image cars. Toyotas are good, reliable cars and are bought by a wide variety of people who have zero personality to go with their cars and are basically chicken-shit scared people who will never take chances and will therefore be driving Toyotas forever. The most zero-image car in the world?, ... a white Corolla Volkswagen Highly overrated for dependability cars since the days of the Beetle, but they do have a good re-sale value. Usually practical, sensible people who like to drive fast where nobody can see them. They are usually loyal to their brand to the point of irritation due to the fact that they lost their virginity on a Beetle's back seat. Volvo As square and safe as the car

What is the lesson of this story? David Pradarelli Assalam-aleikum wa rahmatullah! I came to Islam pretty much on my own. I was born and raised Roman Catholic, but I always had a deep fascination with the spiritualities of other cultures. My Journey started when I desired to have a relationship with my creator. I wanted to find my spirituality, and not the one I was born with. I spent some time in the Catholic religious order known as the Franciscans. I had many friends and I enjoyed prayer times, but it just seemed to relaxed in its faith, and there was, in my opinion, too much arrogance and hypocrisy. When I had returned back from the order into secular living again, I once again was searching for my way to reach God (Allah). One night I was watching the news on television, and of course they were continuing their one-sided half-truth reports on Muslims (always in a negative light instead of balancing it by showing the positive side as well) with images of violence and terrorism. I decided long ago that the news media has no morals whatsoever and will trash anyone for that "juicy story", and I pretty much refused to believe anything they said. I decided to research Islam for myself and draw my own conclusions. What I found paled all the negative images that the satanic media spewed forth. I found a religion deep in love and spiritual truth, and constant God-mindfullness. What may be fanatacism to one person may be devotion to another. I picked up a small paperback Qur'an and began devouring everything I could. It opened my eyes to the wonder and mercy of ALLAH, and I found the fascination growing every day...it was all I could think about. No other religion including Catholicism impacted me in such a powerful way...I actually found myself in God-awareness 24 hours a day 7 days a week...each time I went to my five daily prayers, I went with anticipation...finally! What I have been searching for all of my life. I finally got enough courage to go to a mosque and profess the Shahadah before my Muslm brothers and sisters. I now am a practicing Muslim and I thank ALLAH for leading me to this place: Ashhahdu anna la ilaha ilallah wa Muhammadur rasul ALLAH! This means: "I believe in the oneness and totalness of ALLAH and that Muhammad(peace and blessings be upon him)is the chosen prophet of ALLAH." I now also accept Jesus as no longer equal with ALLAH, but sent as Muhammad was sent ...to bring all of mankind to submission to the will of ALLAH! May all of mankind find the light and truth of ALLAH. Ibrahim Karlsson I was born in an ordinary , non-religious Swedish home, but with a very loving relationship to each other. I had lived my life 25 years without really thinking about the existence of God or anything spiritual what-so-ever; I was the role model of the materialistic man. Or was I? I recall a short story I wrote in 7th grade, something about my future life, where I portray myself as a successful games programmer (I hadn't yet even touched a computer) and living with a Muslim wife!! OK, at that time Muslim to me meant dressing in long clothes and wearing a scarf, but I have no idea where those thoughts came from. Later, in high school, I remember spending much time in the school-library (being a bookworm) and at one time I picked up a translated Qur'an and read some passages from it. I don't remember exactly what I read, but I do remember finding that what it said made sense and was logical to me. Still, I was not at all religious, I couldn't fit God in my universe, and I had no need of any god. I mean, we have Newton to explain how the universe works, right? Time passed, I graduated and started working. Earned some money and moved to my own apartment, and found a wonderful tool in the PC. I became a passionate amateur photographer, and enrolled in activities around that. At one time I was documenting a marketplace, taking snapshots from a distance with my telelens when an angry looking immigrant came over and explained that he would make sure I wasn't going to take any more pictures of his mum and sisters. Strange people those Muslims... More things related to Islam happened that I can't explain why I did what I did. I can't recall the reason I called the "Islamic information organisation" in Sweden, ordering a subscription to their newsletter, buying Yosuf Ali's Qur'an and a very good book on Islam called Islam - our faith. I just did! I read almost all of the Qur'an, and found it to be both beautiful and logical, but still, God had no place in my heart. One year later, whilst out on a patch of land called "pretty island" (it really is) taking autumn-color pictures, I was overwhelmed by a fantastic feeling. I felt as if I were a tiny piece of something greater, a tooth on a gear in God's great gearbox called the universe. It was wonderful! I had never ever felt like this before, totally relaxed, yet bursting with energy, and above all, total awareness of god wherever I turned my eyes. I don't know how long I stayed in this ecstatic state, but eventually it ended and I drove home, seemingly unaffected, but what I had experienced left uneraseable marks in my mind. At this time Microsoft brought Windows-95 to the market with the biggest marketing blitz known to the computer industry. Part of the package was the on-line service The Microsoft Network. And keen to know what is was I got myself an account on the MSN. I soon found that the Islam BBS were the most interesting part of the MSN, and that's where I found Shahida. Shahida is a American woman, who like me has converted to Islam. Our chemistry worked right away, and she became the best pen-friend I have ever had. Our e-mail correspondence will go down in history: the fact that my mailbox grew to something like 3 megabytes over the first 6 months tells its own tale. She and I discussed a lot about Islam and faith in god in general, and what she wrote made sense to me. Shahida had an angels patience with my slow thinking and my silly questions, but she never gave up the hope in me. Just listen to your heart and you'll find the truth she said. And I found the truth in myself sooner than I'd expected. On the way home from work, in the bus with most of the people around me asleep, and myself adoring the sunset, painting the beautifully dispersed clouds with pink and orange colours, all the parts came together, how God can rule our life, yet we're not robots. How I could depend on physics and chemistry and still believe and see Gods work. It was wonderful, a few minutes of total understanding and peace. I so long for a moment like this to happen again! And it did, one morning I woke up, clear as a bell, and the first thought that ran through my brain was how grateful to God I were that he made me wake up to another day full of opportunities. It was so natural, like I had been doing every day of my life! After these experiences I couldn't no longer deny God's existence. But after 25 years of denying God it was no easy task to admit his existence and accept faith. But good things kept happening to me, I spent some time in the US, and at this time I started praying, testing and feeling, learning to focus on God and to listen to what my heart said. It all ended in a nice weekend in New York, of which I had worried a lot, but it turned out to be a success, most of all, I finally got to meet Shahida! At this point there was no return, I just didn't know it yet. But God kept leading me, I read some more, and finally got the courage to call the nearest Mosque and ask for a meeting with some Muslims. With trembling legs I drove to the mosque, which I had passed many times before, but never dared to stop and visit. I met the nicest people there, and I was given some more reading material, and made plans to come and visit the brothers in their home. What they said, and the answers they gave all made sense. Islam became a major part of my life, I started praying regularly, and I went to my first Jumma prayer. It was wonderful, I sneaked in, and sat in the back, not understanding a word the imam was saying, but still enjoying the service. After the khutba we all came together forming lines, and made the two 'rakaas'. It was yet one of the wonderful experiences I have had on my journey to Islam. The sincerity of 200 men fully devoted to just one thing, to praise God, felt great! Slowly my mind started to agree with my heart, I started to picture myself as a Muslim, but could I really convert to Islam? I had left the Swedish state-church earlier, just in case, but to pray 5 times a day? to stop eating pork? Could I really do that? And what about my family and friends? I recalled what Br. Omar told me, how his family tried to get him admitted to an asylum when he converted. Could I really do this? By this time the Internet wave had swept my country, and I too had hooked up with the infobahn. And "out there" were tons of information about Islam. I think I collected just about every web page with the word Islam anywhere in the text, and learned a lot. But what really made a change was a text I found in Great Britain, a story of a newly converted woman with feelings exactly like mine. 12 hours is the name of the text. When I had read that story, and wept the tears out of my eyes I realized that there were no turning back anymore, I couldn't resist Islam any longer. Summer vacation started, and I had made my mind up. I had to become a Muslim! But after all, the start of the summer had been very cold, and if my first week without work was different, I wouldn't lose a day of sunshine by not being on the beach. On the TV the weatherman painted a big sun right on top of my part of the country. OK then, some other day... The next morning; a steel grey sky, with ice-cold gusts of wind outside my bedroom window. It was like God had decided my time was up, I could wait no longer. I had the required bath, and dressed in clean clothes, jumped in my car and drove the 1 hour drive to the mosque. In the Mosque I approached the brothers with my wish, and after dhuhr prayer the Imam and some brothers witnessed me say the Shahada. Alhamdulillah! And to my great relief all my family and friends have taken my conversion very well, they have all accepted it, I won't say they were thrilled, but absolutely no hard feelings. They can't understand all the things I do. Like praying 5 times a day on specific times, or not eating pork meat. They think this is strange foreign customs that will die out with time, but I'll prove them wrong. InshaAllah! Abd al-Hayy Moore I became a Muslim when it seemed I had already accepted Islam in my bones, as if beyond choice, and I only had to make a leap to embrace it formally. Outwardly I was content; inwardly I was coasting. My three-year-old theatre company was disbanded after a hilariously chaotic production for a Tim Leary Benefit at the Family Dog in San Francisco, circa '68 -- naturally the orange juice everyone had passed around was spiked, so that chorus members were doing the final scene in the first ten minutes -- and for six months I had been methodically typing out poetry manuscripts in my attic in Berkeley preparatory to a big publishing peak. I considered myself a Zen Buddhist. But I was other things as well. My normal routine was to get up, sit zazen, smoke a joint, do half an hour of yoga, then read the "Mathnawi" of Rumi, the long mystical poem of that great Persian Sufi of the thirteenth century. Then I met the man who was to be my guide to our teacher in Morocco, Shaykh Muhammad ibn al-Habib, may Allah be pleased with him. At first the meeting was simply remarkable, and my guide simply a remarkable man. But soon our encounter was to become extraordinary, leading to a revolution in my life from which I have never recovered and never hope to. The man looked like an eccentric Englishman. He too had only recently come out of the English version of the Hippie Wave. He was older, refined in his manners, spectacularly witty and intellectual, but of that kind prevalent then who had hobnobbed with the Beatles and knew the Tantric Art collection of Brian Jones firsthand. He had been on all the classic drug quests -- peyote in the Yucatan, mescaline with Laura Huxley -- but with the kif quest in Morocco he had stumbled on Islam and then the Sufis, and the game was up. A profound change had taken place in his life that went far beyond the psychedelic experience. For the three days following our meeting, two other Americans and I listened in awe as this magnificent storyteller unfolded the picture of Islam, of the perfection of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, of the Sufis of Morocco, and of the 100-year-old plus Shaykh, sitting under a great fig tree in a garden with his disciples singing praises of Allah. It was everything I'd always dreamed of. It was poetry come alive. It was the visionary experience made part of daily life, with the Prophet a perfectly balanced master of wisdom and simplicity, an historically accessible Buddha, with a mixture of the earthiness of Moses, the otherworldliness of Jesus, and a light all his own. The prophetic knowledge our guide talked about was a kind of spiritual existentialism. It was a matter of how you enter a room, which foot you entered with, that you sipped water but gulped milk, that you said, "Bismillah" (In the Name of Allah) before eating or drinking, and "Al-hamdulillah" (Praise be to Allah) afterwards, and so on. But rather than seeing this as a burden of hundreds of "how-to's," it was more like what the LSD experience taught us, that there is a "right" way to do things that has, if you will, a cosmic resonance. It is a constant awareness of courtesy to the Creator and His creation that itself ensures and almost visionary intensity. It is hard to put forward any kind of explanation of Islam, to try to suggest the beauty of its totality, through the medium of words. The light of Islam, since it is transformational and alchemical in nature, almost always comes via a human messenger who is a transmitter of the picture by his very being. Face to face with our guide, what struck us most was his impeccable, noble behavior. He seemed to be living what he was saying. Finally the moment came, as a surprise, when he confronted me with my life. "Well," he said one morning after three full days of rapturous agreement that what he was bringing to us was the best thing we'd ever heard, "What do you think? Do you want to become a Muslim?" I hedged. "It's the most beautiful thing I've heard about so far. After all my Zen Buddhism, all my yoga, Tibetan Buddhism and Hindu gurus, this is certainly it! But I think I would like to travel a little, see the world, go to Afghanistan (then unoccupied), maybe meet my Shaykh in a mountain village far off somewhere." "That's not good enough. You have to decide now. Yes or no. If it's yes, then we start on a great adventure. If it's no, then no blame, I've done my duty. I'll just say goodbye and go on my way. But you have to decide now. I'll go downstairs and read a magazine and wait. Take your time." When he had left th
Good tour operators for Ecuador? I am hoping to travel to Ecuador and would like to set up an "adventure" type of tour that departs from Quito. Can anyone recommend good tour operators? Would particularly be interested in local companies.
What is the name and author of this science fiction book?? I read this book years ago. It stuck in my head and I would like to read it again. From what I can remember, there is a man that owns a space mining company. He discovers a new life form that in itself has the ability to transport anything from itself to another of the same lifeform in a kind of "Warp Gate". He uses this lifeform as a "Warp Gate" to expand human reach to the stars where he has several adventures. Later, he is able to develop an "Artificial Warp Gate" and no longer uses the life forms as a "Warp Gate". He also learns that this "Warp Gate" can be used to travel through time and he later travels through time and helps himself avoid some past misfortune. Upon reaching his life goal of marriage and his life goal of fortune, he turns his attention & fortune to developing a way to expand human life to be able to live forever. Any ideas?? Thanks.

Is it true...outta sight, outta mind? Hi I was just looking for some general opinions...my boyfriend and I have been together since mid-December. We're still early days in our relationship & haven't exchanged I love you's or anything like that. At the moment, we just enjoy each other's company & are getting to know each other. We see each other almost every day & get along really well. He left to go travelling a week and a bit ago...he'll be gone for 2 months... I was just wondering...how long does it take for a guy to get over a girl? If he's gone for so long, and we only communicate about once a week either through calls or email, how reasonable is it to assume his feelings for me might fade? We're not at the level where we're madly "in love", but we are exclusive. I spoke to him about 30 minutes ago, and he sounds like he's having the time of his life, having so many awesome adventures, and just taking this time to relax. I am so happy for him, because he really needed a break. I'm worried he's going to get over me, being so far away, experiencing so many different things...that he'll find himself even more independent and self-sufficient than he already is...that he will figure out that he doesn't need me. I guess it's evident that my self-esteem isn't exactly rocketing. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I know I feel more for him than he feels for me, and I'm scared I'm going to lose him because he'll forget his feelings for me. We are both 22. Thoughts?
Does anybody out there in Uk and interested in traveling and living and working in arab world espacially in? the oil rich ,business booming Libya located in North Africa.I'am not arab ,am a west african expatriate who have been living over for 4 years now and experienced with social life and all related stuff .Right now we are just amazed about how business is moving . Just after the removing of the UN and US sanctions , US and UK oil companies, recognized Institutes and Schools are rushing to Libya.to do business.Thoses companies and Institutes always wished to recruit their qualified staff and employees at international level but it is always expensive in doing so.So they look for them at local level where the cost is low but they are also having problems on the local job market being lacked of qualified resourses.It'd be very tricky and intelligent for anyone out there in UK or US with a degree to get here by oneself where a highly paid job can be easily got.I wish i'd be useful and helpful for anyone intertested in such adventure .benikouachifa@yahoo.com.Am available for more detail Am expecting any interested man or woman
How to travel somewhere different from Vancouver for cheap? I'm sick of the whole travelling to Mexico or Carribean on an all-inclusive. I only have 10 days max. to travel because of work, but I'd like to go somewhere different. I live in Vancouver so could depart from Seattle if necessary. I'm travelling with one friend and we want to leave end of June. I have a very small budget but want to make the best of it in a unique way. Anyone have any ideas like particular websites or travel companies for me to approach? I had a quick look at GAP adventures but its unclear to me how exactly the company works. Basically my questions is: What is the least expensive way to go to Europe or South America for a quick get-away?
Do i need extra travel insurance? I have a pretty atandard one, but i will be doing adventure stuff while im away, horse riding diving etc. but nothing like bungee jumping. i compared my insurance to the one the company offers, and they have the same categories i.e . none for 'adventure sports' or activities like the one im doing. do u think i need extra insurance for these though? if i got hurt while riding, would i be covered?? anybody? :)
Boycott Botswana for their evil genocide!!!!? Botswana’s government is this week promoting the Central Kalahari Game Reserve as a top tourist destination, but it has banned the reserve’s Bushmen from accessing their own water. At this week’s INDABA tourism fair in Durban, the Botswana Tourism Board is promoting Botswana as a top travel destination, and the government has just awarded a safari concession in the reserve to a South African tourist company, the Safari & Adventure Company, close to the Bushman community of Molapo. But despite the Botswana High Court ruling that the Bushmen have the constitutional right to live in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, the Botswana government is doing everything it can to keep them out, denying them access to water and the right to hunt for food. The Safari & Adventure Company will need to sink boreholes to obtain water for its guests and staff to drink, shower, and cook with – but the Botswana government still refuses to allow the Bushmen to use even a single borehole inside the reserve It has instead told them to make a 400km round trip to fetch water. The Bushmen have not been consulted about the tourist lodge that will be built on their land. Survival’s director Stephen Corry said today, ‘Who does the government think will want to sip their drinks and gaze at the Kalahari sunset while desperately thirsty Bushmen look on? As long as the Bushmen are kept off their land, refused the right to hunt for food, and even refused water, the government’s efforts to promote tourism will be tainted with injustice.’ For further information contact Miriam Ross on (+44) (0)20 7687 8734 or email mr@survival-international.org Heavy- I know there are other genocides going on but I can't help feeling that these people are so completely defenseless that we should at least make people aware of what is going on. If tourists boycott Botswana for this it could also start to set an example...ne? Res- I do not agree that the money does not reach the people all the time, especially with a charity like this one. It's not just about the money, it's also about raising awareness. I feel like going outside the Botswana Embassy, which is nothing other than a tourist outlet, and protesting myself!

Anyone know of any good travel companies that do package tours? We're late 20's / early 30's and looking for a South American tour package deal. We're willing to spend some cash and want a balance of adventure/activity, sight seeing and taking in the culture. I'm hoping to stay as far away from the backpack/hostel trip as I am the 40+ leisure/family tour. I've heard Contiki is more like the former and Intrepid skews toward the latter. Thoughts or suggestions?
Boyfriend wants to take a year long motorcycle trip, he wants me to go. Should I? How? Ok, so my boyfriend (of 3 years) has had this dream of traveling around the country (maybe Canada and a bit of South America as well), camping and taking photos for about a year since he was a kid. And now he's finally getting around to the early stages of planning. And he wants me to go with him. I would LOVE to go with him, I honestly would. Who could pass up a chance to take off for a year, be free and just see things you never thought you would? It seems wrong NOT to go... But when I talk to people besides my boyfriend they tell me it's a mistake. I'll lose everything I've worked for.....I don't know what to do. I'm so confused. A little background: I'm 21, the trip will not be for another year and a half or so (plenty of time to plan). I work as a receptionist for a really good, big company with great pay and benefits and I will definitely get the chance to move up. I just started buying a car (which won't be paid for for 2.5 years so it would have to be sold before we left). I'd give up my job, car and apartment to take this trip. Probably sell a LOT of other things as well.... I'll also have to learn to ride a motorcycle in the time before we leave which I think is very doable.....it's just..... What happens when we get back? How do we get back on our feet? Should we try to support each other or get our own separate places like we do now? I just don't know, I'm so confused. I'd give up everything I've worked for but how much is that really? I could find another job, maybe even get back into my current company afterward, buy another car..... It's just been hard to get to where I am now already.....but what will my life matter if I don't have something to be proud of? One good adventure? I just want one good adventure and to feel free for once....Not shackled to a desk and phone. lol. And I do not like the idea of staying home while he's out there alone having the time of his life. The worry and jealousy just wouldn't be worth it, I think... Is there anyone that has taken a trip like this? How did you finally decide to do it with other people telling you not to? How did you cope on the road? How was it when you returned home? I want to travel and see the world so much but how do you do that with all the money you don't have and everyone pushing you to stay put behind your desk? Help?! Well....I think maybe I painted things a little better than they are. I don't have a career. I havea job, I answer phones all day, that's it. And the positions that I will move up into aren't really what I want to do. Building Facilities? Not really....I don't have a house, I rent an apartment, 1 bedroom. I don't even really want to stay in the state that we live in..... I dunno. It just seems like a wonderful chance to see the world. And why does stuff matter so much? So many people let the things they own end up owning them. Yes, we would save for at least a year and a half. While we're gone we won't have "bills". Why rent an apartment while you're not there? Sell the car, you can buy a new one.
